We want to use synthetic division to evaluate
[tex] \frac{3x^{5}+4x^{4}+2x^{2}-1}{x+2} [/tex]
Note that all coefficients of the 5-th order polynomial are required for synthetic division.
-2 | 3 4 0 2 0 -1
-6 4 -8 12 -24
----------------------------
3 -2 4 -6 12 -25
Answer:
[tex] \frac{3x^{5}+4x^{4}+2x^{2}-1}{x+2} =3x^{4}-2x^{3}+4x^{2}-6x+12- \frac{25}{x+2} [/tex]
