Synthetic Division: only works if dividing by something that has the form of x- k You have to be dividing by a linear term. In Synthetic Division, all you use is the coefficients.
Try: -3 1 0 -10 -2 4 -3 3 -3 9 1 -3 -1 1 1 1 • -3 -3 • -3 -1 • -3 1 • -3
-3 1 0 -10 -2 4 -3 3 -3 9 1 -3 -1 1 1 Original equation (dividend) Depressed equation (quotient) divisor remainder
The Remainder Theorem An easy way to do find the f of something is to do the synthetic division in your head…
