Help Please!!! Divide -2x^3+21x^2-20x-12 by (x-3).

Do you want to do this with synthetic division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i guess

3| -2+21 -20 -12 -6 45 75 -------------------- -2 15 25 63

Then what you need to do is add in the variables with x^n-1 -2x^2 + 15x + 25 + 64/(x-3) Does that azentina and I said so far make sense to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 64/(x-3) is the remainder. It can also be written as just 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
