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.
