To divide the given polynomials using synthetic division, we will follow the steps below:(a)
Step 1: Write down the coefficients of the dividend polynomial:
.Step 2: Write down the zero of the divisor polynomial, which is
.Step 3: Bring down the first coefficient, which is
.Step 4: Multiply the zero of the divisor by the value just brought down, and write the result under the next coefficient.Step 5: Add the values in the second column and write the result below the line.Step 6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all coefficients have been processed.The synthetic division table for this problem is as follows:``` 2 | 1 -3 -7 6 | 2 -2 -18 ---------------- 1 -1 -9 -12```The quotient is
and the remainder is

Polynomials are closed under division, meaning that the division of two polynomials always results in another polynomial. In this case, both
and
resulted in polynomials as the quotients.
