For this one you cant use synthetic division you have to use long division right? (x^3+8x^2-3x+16)/(x^2+5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the slash is a division sign.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

correct, synthetic division wont work here, coz x^2+5 is not a linear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here also synthetic division can be used

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here the last two expression will be the remainder first make x^2+5 x^2+0.x+ 5 and it is same as for the linear division say by x+a

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

not able to understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woud the correct answer be x+8+2x-2/x^2+5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here first 1 of coefficient of x^3 in x^3+8x^2-3x+16 will move down then multiply 0 and -5 by 1 and the result should be written below 8 and -3 succesively

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again multiplying 0 and -5 by (0+8) and writing so succesively below -5 (previously obtained) and 16...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thus the quoteint is x+8 and the remainder is -8x -24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope u will be getting it now
