Haha, wasn't as hard as i thought. Got the right answer =). If you don't mind, i have one more question. It's probably really easy, but how do i know when to use Synthetic Division, and when to use Long Division?

I've never done long division with two binomials/zero's before, usually it's only one like (x+2), etc. What do i have to do differently? Thanks for the help!

Homework Statement Find each remainder: a. (x^3 + 5x^2 - 7x + 1) ÷ (x+2)(x-1)b. (2x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 2) ÷ (x^2 + 4x + 3)Homework Equations N/A. (We've used Long Division and Synthetic Division for previous questions.) The Attempt at a Solution How would i go about solving these? I'm pretty stuck.

Homework Statement Sorry if i sound stupid, i just can't understand this problem. Bob wants to tow a car with his truck. He loosely attaches a rope between the vehicles. Bob accelerates rapidly with his truck, forcing the rope to snap. Explain the scenario using Newton's First Law...
