Question

Use synthetic division to determine whether or not (x - 1) is a factor of (-3.23 – 2x2 - 1).Quotient:Remainder:

Answer 1

`(-3x^3-2x^2-1)/(x-1)`

Doing the synthetic division we have:

We can see that the resultant of the division gives us 4 numbers which will correspond from left to right to the factor that will accompany the variable x by subtracting an exponent, leaving us the following:
