If anyone can help me again thanks! (The numbers and everything aren't lining up correctly hopefully you'll know what i'm talking about) Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! That synthetic division gives remainder 7, and this shows that . The effect is well described in The Remainder Theorem.

Study the Rational Roots Theorem, and The Remainder Theorem and the Factor Theorem.
