Question

How do you divide `(x^3+2x-6) / (x+1)`?

Answer 1

Use synthetic division

Explanation:

P(x) = `x^3 + 2x - 6`
D(x) = x + 1

Then, by using synthetic division, divide P(x) by D(x).But, you've to remember that synthetic division is used only when the divisor is in the form of (x - r) .If not,you must use long division method.
