Google "synthetic division" you'll get many websites.
It is hard to show the algorithm with the format of Jiskha
btw, why use synthetic division to find P(-3) ?? , just evaluate
P(-3) = -2(-3)^4 + 6(-3)^2 - (-3) + 1
= -162 + 54 + 3 + 1
= -104
Use synthetic division to find P(-3) for
P(x) = -2x^4 + 6x^2 - x + 1
please show your work! ^.^
