Vocaloid:

first step, how many times does x go into x^3?

Vocaloid:

or a better question, what is x^3 / x?

kaylak:

x^2

Vocaloid:

good, now we write that on top

Vocaloid:

then we multiply x^2 * (x - 3) to get...?

kaylak:

x^3-3x^2

Vocaloid:

good,now we write that below

Vocaloid:

continuing our process from step 1, we divide 5x^2 over x to get 5x

Vocaloid:

should be + 5x sorry

kaylak:

a remainder can't be negative so the first 2 choices are out

Vocaloid:

hmm I hope I didn't make an algebra mistake somewhere

Vocaloid:

oh whoops I wrote x - 3 instead of x + 3 ugh

Vocaloid:

kaylak:

so the remainder is

kaylak:

is it c

Vocaloid:

anyway, this is what I end up getting, sorry for the wait

Vocaloid:

I have to get going, but for problem 2 you need to use synthetic division to see if x = -3 is a zero for each function, and for problem 3, you need to write the synthetic division expression for the stated function and see where the error is http://www.purplemath.com/modules/synthdiv.htm
