Divide Using Synthetic Division (2x^3+7x^2-5)/(x+3)

$\frac{2 x^{3} + 7 x^{2} - 5}{x + 3}$

Step 1

Place the numbers representing the divisor and the dividend into a division-like configuration.

$- 3$	$2$	$7$	$0$	$- 5$
	\xa0			\xa0

Step 2

The first number in the dividend $(2)$ is put into the first position of the result area (below the horizontal line).

Step 3

Multiply the newest entry in the result $(2)$ by the divisor $(- 3)$ and place the result of $(- 6)$ under the next term in the dividend $(7)$ .

Step 4

Add the product of the multiplication and the number from the dividend and put the result in the next position on the result line.

Step 5

Multiply the newest entry in the result $(1)$ by the divisor $(- 3)$ and place the result of $(- 3)$ under the next term in the dividend $(0)$ .

Step 6

Add the product of the multiplication and the number from the dividend and put the result in the next position on the result line.

Step 7

Multiply the newest entry in the result $(- 3)$ by the divisor $(- 3)$ and place the result of $(9)$ under the next term in the dividend $(- 5)$ .

Step 8

Add the product of the multiplication and the number from the dividend and put the result in the next position on the result line.

Step 9

All numbers except the last become the coefficients of the quotient polynomial. The last value in the result line is the remainder.

$2 x^{2} + 1 x - 3 + \frac{4}{x + 3}$

Step 10

Simplify the quotient polynomial.

$2 x^{2} + x - 3 + \frac{4}{x + 3}$
