Answer 1

for synthetic substitution you would set up a synthetic division problem with -3 as the divisor (the number in the top left corner)

Answer 2

okay so just solve for -3

Answer 3

do you remember how to set up/solve a synthetic division problem?

Answer 4

umm no

Answer 5

isn't it
11 -6 +2

Answer 6

steps for the algorithm: step 1 is to drop the first number in the first column down

Answer 7

step 2: multiply in this direction

Answer 8

bring the result into the next column

Answer 9

take the sum of the second column (-6 + (-33) = -39

Answer 10

now that I am looking at it I forgot the placeholder ugh ;_;

Answer 11

since we are missing an x term we substitute a 0 as a placeholder

Answer 12

anyway, we will multiply in this direction again

Answer 13

and then bring the result into the next column

Answer 14

taking the sum , 0 + 117 = 117

Answer 15

then multiplying by the divisor again...

Answer 16

bring the result into the last column

Answer 17

then take the sum of the last column

2 + (-351) = -349 = your answer

Answer 18

I would recommend studying these steps and writing them down b/c this algorithm comes up a lot

Answer 19

when you're ready we can move onto 10

Answer 20

I actually need to take a break b/c I'm starting to get worn out ;;

Answer 21

Lol go ahead

Answer 22

when you are back please let me know

Answer 23

anyway for direct substitution #10 you just need to plug in x = 5 to find m(5)

Answer 24

m(5) = 5 + 5^2 - 1 = 5 + 25 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29 = your answer

got to get to class, have a nice afternoon ^^
