Question

(6x^2-21)/(x+1)
Use synthetic division to divide

I have done 5 different problems like this and I'm getting the wrong answers on all of them

Answer 1

-1 | 6 0 -21
|
--------------------


Here's the setup.

Answer 2

I have done that setup and get the wrong answer all the time

Answer 3

can you show us your steps Iam?

Answer 4

it won't help now cause I got it wrong............. I'm working a new one now.

Answer 5

(12^2-6)/(x+1) is the new problem

Answer 6

there is supposed to be a x behind the 12

Answer 7

same setup tho, different numbers

can you run thru it with the example parth gave?

Answer 8

what I came up with for this new problem is 12x12+6/x-1

Answer 9

synthD needs all the parts filled in; the missing parts get zeros.

Answer 10

12x^2 -6
^^^
we need to fill in for the missing "x" to solve by synthD

Answer 11

12x^2+0x -6
0 12 12
-------------
1 ) 12x +12 R:6

i get the same results

Answer 12

the divider is (x+1) tho isnt it

Answer 13

it's tells me that is the wrong answer............ I get a hint from it........ The hint said Remember to place a 0 in as the coefficient for any missing powers of x

Answer 14

using (x+1) instead:

12x^2+0x -6
0 -12 12
-------------
-1 ) 12x -12 R:6

\[12x-12+\frac6{x+1}\]

Answer 15

that was the right answer...... I have been doing problems like for the 45 mins and always get the wrong answer

Answer 16

you had that one pretty close :) at least you have a decent grasp on the concepts
