Question 1028961: can someone help me solve this? im super stuck:
Use synthetic division and the remainder theorem to find P(a).
P(x) = x5 + 3x4 + 3x − 7; P(-1)
Put your answer in the form of an integer [X].

Set the format for the division this way: 
    -1    |      1        3      0      0      3      -7
          |
          |
          |_______________________________________________________

This setup is for checking the possible root of , and the coefficients of the dividend must include all degrees of x. The remainder WILL BE P(-1). 

    -1    |      1        3      0      0      3      -7
          |
          |              -1     -2       2    -2      -1
          |_______________________________________________________
                 1       2      -2      2      1
