divided by p(x) = x-1
Remember basic arithmetic: Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

If we apply this to synthetic division, we get the following result:
Use Synthetic Division to divide polynomials:

1| 1 -4 5 5
1 -3 2
______________
1 -3 2 7
Quotient Reminder
7
The correct form of the answer synthetic division is


Or you can use long method of dividing:
x^2 - 3x + 2
_____________________
x - 1 /x^3 -4x^2 +5x +5
x^3 - x^2
-3x^2 + 5x
-3x^2 + 3x
2x + 5
2x - 2
7 --------->Reminder

The correct form of the answer using the long dividion is
