Solution

The synthetic division problem is not fully stated. However, I will show you how to solve a synthetic division problem using an example.

Let's say we have the problem -3 | 12 -23 -3. Here's how you would solve it:

  1. Write down the coefficients of the polynomial (12, -23, -3) in a row. Draw a line under them.

  2. Write the number you're dividing by (-3) to the left of the line.

  3. Bring down the first coefficient (12) below the line.

  4. Multiply the number you brought down (12) by the number you're dividing by (-3) and write the result (-36) under the second coefficient (-23).

  5. Add the numbers in this column (-23 + -36 = -59) and write the result below the line.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the new number you brought down (-59) and the next coefficient (-3). Multiply -59 by -3 to get 177, write this under -3, and add to get 174.

So, the numbers below the line are the coefficients of the quotient polynomial. In this case, the quotient is 12x - 59 with a remainder of 174.
