How to write the final answer of a problem using synthetic division

The video tutorial explains a mathematical problem-solving process. It begins with setting up the problem and organizing terms in descending order, including any missing terms. The instructor then demonstrates a step-by-step calculation process, emphasizing the importance of multiplying correctly and keeping track of signs. Finally, the tutorial concludes with labeling the results and writing the final answer, ensuring the remainder is correctly expressed over the divisor.

What is the zero of the polynomial as identified in the video?

• -3

• 3

• 1

• 0

Why is it important to arrange polynomial terms in descending order?

• To avoid errors in addition

• To simplify calculations

• To make the polynomial look neat

• To ensure correct synthetic division

In synthetic division, what is the first step after bringing down the first term?

• Subtract the terms

• Multiply diagonally

• Add the terms

• Divide the terms

What is the result of multiplying -3 by -3 in the synthetic division process?

• 9

• 0

• 3

• -9

How should the remainder be expressed in the final answer?

• As a whole number

• As a fraction

• Over the divisor

• As a decimal
