Question 17534: How do I use the synthetic division to solve a problem like
x^2+2x+4=(x+1)*(______)+(______)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2+2x+4=(x+1)*(______)+(______) 

x+1| x^2 + 2x + 4
 -1| 1     2    4
   | -    -1    -1
   -----------------
     1     1    3

So we get,
(x+1)(x+2)+3


+x%5E2%2B2x%2B4+=+%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B2%29%2B3+
