Divide using synthetic division $$ ( x^{3}+2x^{2}-8x+5 ) \div ( x+3 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&2&-8&5\\& & -3& 3& \color{black}{15} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{-1}&\color{blue}{-5}&\color{orangered}{20} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ x^{3}+2x^{2}-8x+5 }{ x+3 } = \color{blue}{x^{2}-x-5} ~+~ \frac{ \color{red}{ 20 } }{ x+3 } $$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.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&2&-8&5\\& & & & \\ \hline &&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&\color{orangered}{ 1 }&2&-8&5\\& & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{1}&&& \end{array} $$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 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&2&-8&5\\& & \color{blue}{-3} & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 2 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -3 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ -1 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&\color{orangered}{ 2 }&-8&5\\& & \color{orangered}{-3} & & \\ \hline &1&\color{orangered}{-1}&& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -1 \right) } = \color{blue}{ 3 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&2&-8&5\\& & -3& \color{blue}{3} & \\ \hline &1&\color{blue}{-1}&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -8 } + \color{orangered}{ 3 } = \color{orangered}{ -5 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&2&\color{orangered}{ -8 }&5\\& & -3& \color{orangered}{3} & \\ \hline &1&-1&\color{orangered}{-5}& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -5 \right) } = \color{blue}{ 15 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&2&-8&5\\& & -3& 3& \color{blue}{15} \\ \hline &1&-1&\color{blue}{-5}& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 5 } + \color{orangered}{ 15 } = \color{orangered}{ 20 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&2&-8&\color{orangered}{ 5 }\\& & -3& 3& \color{orangered}{15} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{-1}&\color{blue}{-5}&\color{orangered}{20} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ x^{2}-x-5 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ 20 } $.
