Divide using synthetic division $$ ( -3x^{3}-2x^{2}+3x+7 ) \div ( -5 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}0&-3&-2&3&7\\& & 0& 0& \color{black}{0} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{-3}&\color{blue}{-2}&\color{blue}{3}&\color{orangered}{7} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ -3x^{3}-2x^{2}+3x+7 }{ x } = \color{blue}{-3x^{2}-2x+3} ~+~ \frac{ \color{red}{ 7 } }{ x } $$Explanation
Step 1 : Write down the coefficients of the dividend into division table.Put the zero at the left.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{0}&-3&-2&3&7\\& & & & \\ \hline &&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}0&\color{orangered}{ -3 }&-2&3&7\\& & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{-3}&&& \end{array} $$Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -3 \right) } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{0}&-3&-2&3&7\\& & \color{blue}{0} & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{-3}&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -2 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ -2 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}0&-3&\color{orangered}{ -2 }&3&7\\& & \color{orangered}{0} & & \\ \hline &-3&\color{orangered}{-2}&& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -2 \right) } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{0}&-3&-2&3&7\\& & 0& \color{blue}{0} & \\ \hline &-3&\color{blue}{-2}&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 3 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ 3 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}0&-3&-2&\color{orangered}{ 3 }&7\\& & 0& \color{orangered}{0} & \\ \hline &-3&-2&\color{orangered}{3}& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 3 } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{0}&-3&-2&3&7\\& & 0& 0& \color{blue}{0} \\ \hline &-3&-2&\color{blue}{3}& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 7 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ 7 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}0&-3&-2&3&\color{orangered}{ 7 }\\& & 0& 0& \color{orangered}{0} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{-3}&\color{blue}{-2}&\color{blue}{3}&\color{orangered}{7} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ -3x^{2}-2x+3 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ 7 } $.
