Divide using synthetic division $$ ( 3x^{4}+x^{2}+6x+7 ) \div ( -2x+2 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}-2&3&0&1&6&7\\& & -6& 12& -26& \color{black}{40} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{3}&\color{blue}{-6}&\color{blue}{13}&\color{blue}{-20}&\color{orangered}{47} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ 3x^{4}+x^{2}+6x+7 }{ x+2 } = \color{blue}{3x^{3}-6x^{2}+13x-20} ~+~ \frac{ \color{red}{ 47 } }{ x+2 } $$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.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&1&6&7\\& & & & & \\ \hline &&&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}-2&\color{orangered}{ 3 }&0&1&6&7\\& & & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{3}&&&& \end{array} $$Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -2 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 3 } = \color{blue}{ -6 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&1&6&7\\& & \color{blue}{-6} & & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{3}&&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 0 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -6 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -6 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}-2&3&\color{orangered}{ 0 }&1&6&7\\& & \color{orangered}{-6} & & & \\ \hline &3&\color{orangered}{-6}&&& \end{array} $$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 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&1&6&7\\& & -6& \color{blue}{12} & & \\ \hline &3&\color{blue}{-6}&&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 1 } + \color{orangered}{ 12 } = \color{orangered}{ 13 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}-2&3&0&\color{orangered}{ 1 }&6&7\\& & -6& \color{orangered}{12} & & \\ \hline &3&-6&\color{orangered}{13}&& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -2 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 13 } = \color{blue}{ -26 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&1&6&7\\& & -6& 12& \color{blue}{-26} & \\ \hline &3&-6&\color{blue}{13}&& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 6 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -26 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -20 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}-2&3&0&1&\color{orangered}{ 6 }&7\\& & -6& 12& \color{orangered}{-26} & \\ \hline &3&-6&13&\color{orangered}{-20}& \end{array} $$Step 8 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -2 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -20 \right) } = \color{blue}{ 40 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{-2}&3&0&1&6&7\\& & -6& 12& -26& \color{blue}{40} \\ \hline &3&-6&13&\color{blue}{-20}& \end{array} $$Step 9 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 7 } + \color{orangered}{ 40 } = \color{orangered}{ 47 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}-2&3&0&1&6&\color{orangered}{ 7 }\\& & -6& 12& -26& \color{orangered}{40} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{3}&\color{blue}{-6}&\color{blue}{13}&\color{blue}{-20}&\color{orangered}{47} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ 3x^{3}-6x^{2}+13x-20 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ 47 } $.
