You can put this solution on YOUR website! This expression MUST have one variable if you want to use a simple form of synthetic division here. So I'm assuming that the expression is
Let's simplify this expression using synthetic division
Start with the given expression
First lets find our test zero:
Set the denominator equal to zero
Solve for x.
so our test zero is 2
Now set up the synthetic division table by placing the test zero in the upper left corner and placing the coefficients of the numerator to the right of the test zero.

Start by bringing down the leading coefficient (it is the coefficient with the highest exponent which is 5)

Multiply 2 by 5 and place the product (which is 10) right underneath the second coefficient (which is 34)

Add 10 and 34 to get 44. Place the sum right underneath 10.

Add 88 and 24 to get 112. Place the sum right underneath 88.

Since the last column adds to 112, we have a remainder of 112. This means is not a factor of
Now lets look at the bottom row of coefficients:
The first 2 coefficients (5,44) form the quotient
and the last coefficient 112, is the remainder, which is placed over like this
Putting this altogether, we get:
So
which looks like this in remainder form:
remainder 112
