You cannot use ordinary synthetic division unless you are 
dividing by a binomial of the form x ± a.  You cannot divide 
by trinomials using ordinary synthetic division.  You must 
use LONG division.

You can only divide them after setting them up like this, 
using long division:

x˛-2x-1)3x5+0x4-2x3-x2+4x+4
