Question

How would you solve this polynomial with synthetic division
(x^5 - 10x^2 - 8) (x - 2)

Answer 1

it's a bit complicated to show here.
See https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-home/alg-polynomials/alg-synthetic-division-of-polynomials/v/synthetic-division
and then try your problem. post your work here if you need help

Answer 2

okay
thank you

Answer 3

\[ x^5-10x^2 -8\]
as
\[ 1 x^5 +0 x^4 +0 x^3 -10 x^2 +0x -8 \]
because we need all the "powers"

the "setup" should look like this:
