Divide using synthetic division $$ ( x^{3}-6x^{2}-11x-3 ) \div ( x-3 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}3&1&-6&-11&-3\\& & 3& -9& \color{black}{-60} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{-3}&\color{blue}{-20}&\color{orangered}{-63} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ x^{3}-6x^{2}-11x-3 }{ x-3 } = \color{blue}{x^{2}-3x-20} \color{red}{~-~} \frac{ \color{red}{ 63 } }{ x-3 } $$Explanation
Step 1 : Write down the coefficients of the dividend into division table. Put the zero from $ x -3 = 0 $ ( $ x = \color{blue}{ 3 } $ ) at the left.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{3}&1&-6&-11&-3\\& & & & \\ \hline &&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}3&\color{orangered}{ 1 }&-6&-11&-3\\& & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{1}&&& \end{array} $$Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 1 } = \color{blue}{ 3 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{3}&1&-6&-11&-3\\& & \color{blue}{3} & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -6 } + \color{orangered}{ 3 } = \color{orangered}{ -3 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}3&1&\color{orangered}{ -6 }&-11&-3\\& & \color{orangered}{3} & & \\ \hline &1&\color{orangered}{-3}&& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -3 \right) } = \color{blue}{ -9 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{3}&1&-6&-11&-3\\& & 3& \color{blue}{-9} & \\ \hline &1&\color{blue}{-3}&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -11 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -9 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -20 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}3&1&-6&\color{orangered}{ -11 }&-3\\& & 3& \color{orangered}{-9} & \\ \hline &1&-3&\color{orangered}{-20}& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -20 \right) } = \color{blue}{ -60 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{3}&1&-6&-11&-3\\& & 3& -9& \color{blue}{-60} \\ \hline &1&-3&\color{blue}{-20}& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -3 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -60 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -63 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}3&1&-6&-11&\color{orangered}{ -3 }\\& & 3& -9& \color{orangered}{-60} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{-3}&\color{blue}{-20}&\color{orangered}{-63} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ x^{2}-3x-20 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ -63 } $.
