Question 946096: (4r^2-6+4r^3-7r)/(2h+3) USING SYNTHETIC DIVISION
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the variable names have to be the same.
i'll use x instead of r and h.
i will also re-sort the terms so that the higher order term is to the left of the lower order term.

your equation becomes:

(4x^3 + 4x^2 - 7x - 6) divided by (2x + 3).

in order to perform synthetic division, the divisor has to be a first order expression and the coefficient of the leading varikable has to be 1.

you accomplish this by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2.

you equation becomes:

(2x^3 + 2x^2 - (7/2)x - 3) / (x + (3/2))

you can now perform the synthetic division as shown below:

$$$

the normal division gets you the same answer as shown below:
