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