8. Example 4 Synthetic Division Use synthetic division to find (x 3 – 4x 2 + 6x – 4) ÷ (x – 2). Step 1Write the terms of the dividend so that the degrees of the terms are in descending order. Then write just the coefficients as shown. Step 2Write the constant r of the divisor x – r to the left. In this case, r = 2. Bring the first coefficient, 1, down as shown. x 3 – 4x 2 + 6x – 4   1 –46–4 1

9. Example 4 Synthetic Division Step 3Multiply the first coefficient by r : 1 ● 2 = 2. Write the product under the second coefficient. Then add the product and the second coefficient: –4 + 2 = –2. Step 4Multiply the sum, –2, by r : –2 ● 2 = –4. Write the product under the next coefficient and add: 6 + (–4) = 2. 2 –2 1 1–4 6–4 –4 2 2 –2 1 1–4 6–4

10. Example 4 Synthetic Division Step 5Multiply the sum, 2, by r : 2 ● 2 = 4. Write the product under the next coefficient and add: –4 + 4 = 0. The remainder is 0. The numbers along the bottom are the coefficients of the quotient. Start with the power of x that is one less than the degree of the dividend. 4 0 2 –2 1 2 –4 1–46–4 Answer: The quotient is x 2 – 2x + 2.
