need help plzz
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ill give free medals
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
to use synthetic division, you must be dividing by (x-c) so in this case c = -3
-3 | 2 10 12
______-6___-12___
2 4 0
remainder is zero
quotient is 2x+4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is 2x+4 r0
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
you could have just factored here
2x^2+10+12 = 2(x+3)(x+2)

can you help me with more
plzzz
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
yes that is answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh thank you so much
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have a another one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x ^{3}+4x ^{2}-3x-12 divided by x ^{2}-3\]

factor
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
you can use factor by grouping...im waiting for others to respond before i explain further
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lil confused

\[i read the statement as divide x ^{3}+4x ^{2}-3x-12 by x ^{2} -3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the way you set it up was confusing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i used long division
OpenStudy (anonymous):
they told me to use synthetic division

thats polynomial division...have you learned that yet?
again its not necessary here tho
\[\frac{(x^{3}+4x^{2})+(-3x-12)}{x^{2}-3} = \frac{x^{2}(x+4)-3(x+4)}{x^{2}-3} = \frac{(x+4)(x^{2}-3)}{x^{2}-3} = x+4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no not really
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
synthetic division wont work unless its in form x-c
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
@surjithayer , you made a mistake in your long division
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok can you explain it to me then

i already did...i used factor by grouping to factor numerator ^^
