How do you use polynomial synthetic division to divide (2x3+x2+2x+1)÷(x+12) and write the polynomial in the form p(x)=d(x)q(x)+r(x)?

The answer is =(2x2+2)(x+12)

Explanation:

Let's perform the synthetic division

aaaa12aaaaaa2aaaaaaa1aaaaaa2aaaaaaa1
aaaaaaaaaaaa

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1aaaaaa0aaaaa1
aaaaaaaaaaaa

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa2aaaaaaa0aaaaaa2aaaaaa0

The remainder is 0 and the quotient is =2x2+2

Therefore,

(2x3+x2+2x+1)=(2x2+2)(x+12)
