Find J(x) if

MARC:

\(x^{3}+3x^{2}+x-2=(x+2)\times~J(x)\)

Zepdrix:

To double check your answer? Well what did you end up with? You applied polynomial long division or synthetic division, yes?

MARC:

i got J(x)=\(x^{2}+x-1\)

MARC:

i sub. ax^2+bx+c into J(x) and compare both sides to find the values of a,b and c.

MARC:

what is synthetic division?

Zepdrix:

|dw:1481814088891:dw|Ah that's clever :) Ya I prefer doing synthetic division myself.

Zepdrix:

Hmm it's a little hard to explain if you've never seen it before... The numbers along the top row are the coefficients.

Zepdrix:

Either way, it looks like you got the correct answer which is great.

MARC:

oh that's synthetic division... my revision book didn't stated... ^_^" it just show one example almost similar to this question...

Zepdrix:

ah XD

MARC:

Thank you @Zepdrix ^_^
