Do you know how to do synthetic division?

anonymous · Answer

no o.o

e.mccormick · Answer

What they are talking about is The Remainder Theorem.  This means that you can find a solution to a specific point by doing division and the remainder is the solution.

e.mccormick · Answer

Usually you would learn long polynomial division first, then learn synthetic division, and finally learn how to apply synthetic division in The Remainder Theorem to solve polynomials.

e.mccormick · Answer

This makes it kind of a lot to go over. However, you can jump into the middle with synthetic division if needed. This talks about synthetic division: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/synthdiv.htm This is a worked example of synthetic division: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZoMz1Cy1T4 Once you have seen how it works, then you can try it out on your problem. The specifics as to how are in The Remainder Theorem: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/remaindr.htm

Oh, and that video also shows how the remainder is related to the solution, so it preps you for using it to do that.
