Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsTo use synthetic division for divided by :
Set up the synthetic division.
The divisor is , so we use 3 for the division.
The polynomial is missing an term, so we write it as . The coefficients are .Perform the synthetic division.
Bring down the first coefficient, 3.
Multiply 3 by the divisor 3 to get 9. Add 9 to to get 4.
Multiply 4 by the divisor 3 to get 12. Add 12 to 0 to get 12.
Multiply 12 by the divisor 3 to get 36. Add 36 to 3 to get 39.Identify the quotient and the remainder.
The numbers in the bottom row, excluding the last one, are the coefficients of the quotient. Since the original polynomial was degree 3 and we divided by a degree 1 polynomial, the quotient will be degree 2.
The last number in the bottom row is the remainder.The coefficients of the quotient are .
The quotient is .
The remainder is 39.The quotient is
The remainder is
