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