Question

:/ Division using synthetic division:
g(x)=x^3-x^2-4x-6
What is the remainder?

Answer 1

what is your divisor....

and you can use the remainder theorem to find the remainder

Answer 2

The problem states:
Use synthetic division to determine whether or not x + 2 (a linear function) is a factor of (shown above) .
The remainder in the division is?

Answer 3

it doesn't need synthetic division as

g(-2) will tell you if x + 2 is a factor ... else it will give the remainder

g(-2) = (-2)^3 -(-2)^2 -4(-2) - 6
= -8 -4 +8 - 6
g(-2) = -10

x+2 is not a factor and gives a remainder of -10

good luck with the division

Answer 4

Oh I see. Thanks so much cambell_st.

Answer 5

oops the remainder is -10/(x+2)
