Answer by jsmallt9(3758) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

I find synthetic division easiest in problems like this:

3 |  2   0   -6   -36   <== Note: The zero is for the missing squared term
---      6   18    36
    ------------------
     2   6   12     0

The zero in the bottom right tells us that the remainder is zero. And the rest of the bottom like tells use the quotient. So
