Answer 1

Use synthetic division to determine the quotient and remainder for this question.

Solve: (x3 + 2x2 – 6x – 9) ÷ (x – 3)


Select one:


a. x2 + 5x + 9, remainder 0

b. x2 + 5x, remainder 0

c. x2 + 5x + 9, remainder 18

d. none of the above

Answer 2

Any attempts/ ideas how to do it?

Answer 3

no that's why I posted it

Answer 4

in synthetic division, we write all the coefficients in a row, multiply it one-by-one to the value of x (given root of the equation)... result will be added to the next coefficient... the sum will be written under that next coefficient... what are the coefficients of x in your problem?
