Question

Which expression is equal to (x+4)(-3x^2-4x+2)

Answer 1

Using synthetic division, with divisor -4 stemming from factor (x+4), we find the coefficients of the quotient:

____________________

-4 / -3 -4 2

12 -2

------------------------------------

-3 8 0

The quotient is then -3x + 8, using the coefficients derived using synth. div.
