You count how many places the number is away from 0. try writing it out in an equation it would help
Let's do this by Briot-Ruffini
First: Find the monomial root
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Second: Allign this root with all the other coeficients from equation
Equation = -3x³ - 2x² - x - 2
Coeficients = -3, -2, -1, -2
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
Copy the first coeficient
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3
Multiply him by the root and sum with the next coeficient
2.(-3) = -6
-6 + (-2) = -8
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3 -8
Do the same
2.(-8) = -16
-16 + (-1) = -17
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3 -8 -17
The same,
2.(-17) = -34
-34 + (-2) = -36
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3 -8 -17 -36
Now you just need to put the "x" after all these numbers with one exponent less, see
2 | -3x³ - 2x² - 1x - 2
-3x² - 8x - 17 -36
You may be asking what exponent -36 should be, and I say:
None or the monomial. He's like the rest of this division, so you can say:
(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 with rest -36 or you can say:
(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 - 36/(x - 2)
Just divide the rest by the monomial.
3/4 because it’s parallel so it has the same slope. It just doesn’t pass through the same line.
The first one is the answer to the first question.
the second one is the answer to the second question
