Use synthetic division to find P(3) for P(x) = x^4 - 6x^3 - 4x^2 - 6x - 2

I don't know how to solve this, can someone explain how please?

I can not imagine why you would divide.

3^4 - 6 * 3^3 - 4 * 3^2 - 6 * 3 - 2

= 81 - 162 - 36 - 18 - 2
I thank you for the explanation, not so much the sarcasm. Reason I didn't just divide was because my teacher had said it was more than just division. But thanks for the help! ♥
