Answer:
the quotient is 6x^2 - 16x + 16, and the remainder is just 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial 6x^3-10x^2+20 has coefficients {6, -10, 0, 20}. Division by the binomial x + 1 requires that we use -1 as the divisor. The synthetic division setup becomes:
-1 / 6 -10 0 20
-6 16 -16
-----------------------------
6 -16 16 4
Taking the coefficients {6, -16, 16}, we write the quotient as
6x^2 - 16x + 16, and the remainder as just 4.
