In order to divide polynomials using synthetic division, you must be dividing by a linear expression and the leading coefficient (first number) must be a 1. For example, you can use synthetic division to divide by x + 3 or x – 6, but you cannot use synthetic division to divide by x2 + 2 or 3x2 – x + 7. If the leading coefficient is not a 1, then you must divide by the leading coefficient to turn the leading coefficient into a 1. For example, 3x – 1 would becomex minus 1/3 and 2x + 7 would becomex plus 7/2. If synthetic division will not work, then you must use long division.
Answer:
h(-3) = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
h(-3) = -I 2-(-3) I
Two negatives makes a positive: -(-3) = +3 or 3
h(-3) = -I 2+3 I
h(-3) = -I 5 I
*There is a negative that lies outside of the absolute value lines, which makes everything positive.
Making sure the 5 is positive, remove the absolute value lines.
h(-3) = - +5
The negative sign is still there.
A negative and a positive makes a negative.
h(-3) = -5
