Use synthetic division to divide
(3x³ + 4x² + 8) by (x +2)
Step 1: 3x³ + 4x² + 0x + 8x⁰
Arrange the coefficients of the dividend 3 4 0 8
in descending powers of x, placing
zero (0) for any missing term.
Step 2:
Place the value of r in the upper left -2 3 4 0 8
corner. ( Or to get r,
simply drop x
In this example then change
x–r=x+2 the sign of the
= x – (–2), so r = –2. constant)
Step 3:
The leading coefficient of P(x) becomes -2 3 4 0 8
the first entry of the third row. (Bring
down the first term of P(x) ).

Step 4:
Multiply the first number on the third
row by r. Write the product on the
-2 3 4 0 8
next column on the second row then
add the two numbers. -6
3 -2
In this example, 3 (-2) = - 6
4 + (-6 ) = - 2
Step 5: Repeat the procedure described in
Step 3 until the last number in the third row
is obtained. -2 3 4 0 8
In this example, -2(-2) = 4.
0+4=4 -6 4 -8
then, 4(-2) = 8 3 -2 4 0
8+(-8) =0
Step 6: Write the quotient Q(x) and the
remainder R.
Note that the degree of Q(x) is one less than Q(x)= 3x² -2x + 4
the degree of P(x).The entries in the third row
give the coefficients of Q(x) and the last R(x) = 0
number is the remainder R.

(6x⁵ – x⁴ – 14x³ – 11x² + 15x + 2) ÷ (2x – 3)
3
Observe that the divisor is not in the form (x-r). Note that 2x-3 = 2( x - 2 ). Therefore
3
the problem can be restated as (6x⁵ – x⁴ – 14x³ – 11x² + 15x + 2) ÷ 2( x - 2 ). Thus, we
3
use synthetic division first to divide (6x⁵ – x⁴ – 14x³ – 11x² + 15x + 2) by (x - 2 ) then
divide the result by 2.

Therefore, the final answer is 3x⁴+4x³-x²-7x -3 + 2𝑥 −3.
Determine if the given is polynomial or not. If the given is
a polynomial, write it in standard form then identify the
number of terms, the degree, the leading coefficient and
the constant term. If it is not, write NOT.
