Divide using synthetic division $$ ( x^{4}+2x^{3}+3x^{2}+5x-1 ) \div ( -2 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}0&1&2&3&5&-1\\& & 0& 0& 0& \color{black}{0} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{2}&\color{blue}{3}&\color{blue}{5}&\color{orangered}{-1} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ x^{4}+2x^{3}+3x^{2}+5x-1 }{ x } = \color{blue}{x^{3}+2x^{2}+3x+5} \color{red}{~-~} \frac{ \color{red}{ 1 } }{ x } $$Explanation
Step 1 : Write down the coefficients of the dividend into division table.Put the zero at the left.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{0}&1&2&3&5&-1\\& & & & & \\ \hline &&&&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}0&\color{orangered}{ 1 }&2&3&5&-1\\& & & & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{1}&&&& \end{array} $$Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 1 } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{0}&1&2&3&5&-1\\& & \color{blue}{0} & & & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&&&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 2 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ 2 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}0&1&\color{orangered}{ 2 }&3&5&-1\\& & \color{orangered}{0} & & & \\ \hline &1&\color{orangered}{2}&&& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 2 } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{0}&1&2&3&5&-1\\& & 0& \color{blue}{0} & & \\ \hline &1&\color{blue}{2}&&& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 3 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ 3 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}0&1&2&\color{orangered}{ 3 }&5&-1\\& & 0& \color{orangered}{0} & & \\ \hline &1&2&\color{orangered}{3}&& \end{array} $$Step 6 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 3 } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{0}&1&2&3&5&-1\\& & 0& 0& \color{blue}{0} & \\ \hline &1&2&\color{blue}{3}&& \end{array} $$Step 7 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 5 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ 5 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}0&1&2&3&\color{orangered}{ 5 }&-1\\& & 0& 0& \color{orangered}{0} & \\ \hline &1&2&3&\color{orangered}{5}& \end{array} $$Step 8 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 5 } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}\color{blue}{0}&1&2&3&5&-1\\& & 0& 0& 0& \color{blue}{0} \\ \hline &1&2&3&\color{blue}{5}& \end{array} $$Step 9 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ -1 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ -1 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrrrr}0&1&2&3&5&\color{orangered}{ -1 }\\& & 0& 0& 0& \color{orangered}{0} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{2}&\color{blue}{3}&\color{blue}{5}&\color{orangered}{-1} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ x^{3}+2x^{2}+3x+5 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ -1 } $.
