Divide using synthetic division $$ ( 3x^{3}+2x-1 ) \div ( x+2 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-2&3&0&2&-1\\& & -6& 12& \color{black}{-28} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{3}&\color{blue}{-6}&\color{blue}{14}&\color{orangered}{-29} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ 3x^{3}+2x-1 }{ x+2 } = \color{blue}{3x^{2}-6x+14} \color{red}{~-~} \frac{ \color{red}{ 29 } }{ x+2 } $$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.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&2&-1\\& & & & \\ \hline &&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-2&\color{orangered}{ 3 }&0&2&-1\\& & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{3}&&& \end{array} $$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 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&2&-1\\& & \color{blue}{-6} & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{3}&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 0 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -6 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -6 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-2&3&\color{orangered}{ 0 }&2&-1\\& & \color{orangered}{-6} & & \\ \hline &3&\color{orangered}{-6}&& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -2 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -6 \right) } = \color{blue}{ 12 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&2&-1\\& & -6& \color{blue}{12} & \\ \hline &3&\color{blue}{-6}&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 2 } + \color{orangered}{ 12 } = \color{orangered}{ 14 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-2&3&0&\color{orangered}{ 2 }&-1\\& & -6& \color{orangered}{12} & \\ \hline &3&-6&\color{orangered}{14}& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -2 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 14 } = \color{blue}{ -28 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&2&-1\\& & -6& 12& \color{blue}{-28} \\ \hline &3&-6&\color{blue}{14}& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -1 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -28 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -29 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-2&3&0&2&\color{orangered}{ -1 }\\& & -6& 12& \color{orangered}{-28} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{3}&\color{blue}{-6}&\color{blue}{14}&\color{orangered}{-29} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ 3x^{2}-6x+14 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ -29 } $.
