Answer:
x^2 - 6x - 6, remainder -23
Step-by-step explanation:
Start like this:
3 | 1 -8 9 -5
|
--------------------------------
First step is to copy the 1 to below the line.
3 | 1 -8 9 -5
|
--------------------------------
1
Now multiply 3 by 1 and write below the -8. Then add the product to the -8 and write the sum below the line.
3 | 1 -8 9 -5
| 3
--------------------------------
1 -5
Now multiply 3 by -5 and write below the 9. Then add the product to the 9 and write the sum below the line.
3 | 1 -8 9 -5
| 3 -15
--------------------------------
1 -5 -6
Now multiply 3 by -6 and write below the -5. Then add the product to the -5 and write the sum below the line.
3 | 1 -8 9 -5
| 3 -15 -18
--------------------------------
1 -5 -6 -23
