Question 367321: Hi, I'm new to synthetic division and want to make sure I'm doing this right:
x%5E3+-+6x%5E2+-+3x+%2B+1 / x+%2B+2
-2_|____1____-6____-3____1
___|_________-2____16___-26
________1____-8____13___-25
x%5E2+-+8x+%2B+13, remainder = -25
Fingers are crossed that I understand this correctly :) Thanks so much for your time and have a great night!
