Synthetic Division Setup - Final Polynomial from the Quotient (with Hint)

Question

Using synthetic division to divide this polynomial by this binomial, what is the resulting quotient and remainder? Hint: The quotient's first term is one degree lower than the original polynomial, and the last bottom-row value is the remainder.

Accepted Answer

$$x^{3} - 9x^{2} + 26x - 24$$

Answer

$$x^{3} - 9x^{2} + 26x - 24 + \frac{1}{(x - 1)}$$

Answer

$$x^{4} - 9x^{3} + 26x^{2} - 24x$$

Answer

$$2x^{3} - 9x^{2} + 26x - 24$$
