Divide using synthetic division $$ ( x^{3}-37x-6 ) \div ( x-1 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}1&1&0&-37&-6\\& & 1& 1& \color{black}{-36} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{-36}&\color{orangered}{-42} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ x^{3}-37x-6 }{ x-1 } = \color{blue}{x^{2}+x-36} \color{red}{~-~} \frac{ \color{red}{ 42 } }{ x-1 } $$Explanation
Step 1 : Write down the coefficients of the dividend into division table. Put the zero from $ x -1 = 0 $ ( $ x = \color{blue}{ 1 } $ ) at the left.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{1}&1&0&-37&-6\\& & & & \\ \hline &&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}1&\color{orangered}{ 1 }&0&-37&-6\\& & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{1}&&& \end{array} $$Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 1 } = \color{blue}{ 1 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{1}&1&0&-37&-6\\& & \color{blue}{1} & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 0 } + \color{orangered}{ 1 } = \color{orangered}{ 1 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}1&1&\color{orangered}{ 0 }&-37&-6\\& & \color{orangered}{1} & & \\ \hline &1&\color{orangered}{1}&& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 1 } = \color{blue}{ 1 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{1}&1&0&-37&-6\\& & 1& \color{blue}{1} & \\ \hline &1&\color{blue}{1}&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -37 } + \color{orangered}{ 1 } = \color{orangered}{ -36 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}1&1&0&\color{orangered}{ -37 }&-6\\& & 1& \color{orangered}{1} & \\ \hline &1&1&\color{orangered}{-36}& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -36 \right) } = \color{blue}{ -36 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{1}&1&0&-37&-6\\& & 1& 1& \color{blue}{-36} \\ \hline &1&1&\color{blue}{-36}& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -6 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -36 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -42 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}1&1&0&-37&\color{orangered}{ -6 }\\& & 1& 1& \color{orangered}{-36} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{-36}&\color{orangered}{-42} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ x^{2}+x-36 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ -42 } $.
