Divide using synthetic division $$ ( x^{3}+7x^{2}+15x+13 ) \div ( x+3 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&7&15&13\\& & -3& -12& \color{black}{-9} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{4}&\color{blue}{3}&\color{orangered}{4} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ x^{3}+7x^{2}+15x+13 }{ x+3 } = \color{blue}{x^{2}+4x+3} ~+~ \frac{ \color{red}{ 4 } }{ x+3 } $$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.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&7&15&13\\& & & & \\ \hline &&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&\color{orangered}{ 1 }&7&15&13\\& & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{1}&&& \end{array} $$Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 1 } = \color{blue}{ -3 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&7&15&13\\& & \color{blue}{-3} & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 7 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -3 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ 4 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&\color{orangered}{ 7 }&15&13\\& & \color{orangered}{-3} & & \\ \hline &1&\color{orangered}{4}&& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 4 } = \color{blue}{ -12 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&7&15&13\\& & -3& \color{blue}{-12} & \\ \hline &1&\color{blue}{4}&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 15 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -12 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ 3 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&7&\color{orangered}{ 15 }&13\\& & -3& \color{orangered}{-12} & \\ \hline &1&4&\color{orangered}{3}& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -3 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 3 } = \color{blue}{ -9 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}\color{blue}{-3}&1&7&15&13\\& & -3& -12& \color{blue}{-9} \\ \hline &1&4&\color{blue}{3}& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 13 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -9 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ 4 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrr}-3&1&7&15&\color{orangered}{ 13 }\\& & -3& -12& \color{orangered}{-9} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{4}&\color{blue}{3}&\color{orangered}{4} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ x^{2}+4x+3 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ 4 } $.
