226
second step of solving synthetic division?
write the constant of the diviser but change sign
(6x^2-x+3)-(5x^2-10x+1)
11x^2-11x+4
degree of polynomial
x-1(sqrt)x^2-13x+12
x-12
third step of solving synthetic division
multiply and add
(-4x^2+6)-(-9x^2-7x)

trinomial
3 terms
x-3(sqrt)x^2+7x-30
x+10
whats the fourth step of solving a synthetic division
last number is your remainder, add variable back to the rest of your numbers
