1. Use synthetic division to divide

2. Problem
(9x^3-16x-18x^2++32) / (x-2)

3. Step one:
You use the opposite term in the second set of parenthesis to use in your first synthetic division.

4. Step 2:
Set up your problem by putting the term out side, and the other terms on the inside in order of the x’s. if there is a missing x put a zero in its place. 2

5. Step 3:
You drop the first term down and then multiply the 2 outsides. After doing that you put it in the blank space underneath the second term. Add then repeat through the problem. 2

6. Step 4:
Now take your answer and add the x’s using one less than when you started.
Now factor the polynomial
(3x+2) (3x-2)
9x^2-16

7. Step 5: Factor: include the original factor in your answer
(3x+2) (3x-2) (x-2)

8. Step 8:
