SOLUTION
We want to perform the following division using synthetic division
[tex]\frac{x^4-3x^3+3x^2-3x+6}{x-2}[/tex]
This becomes
First we write the problem in a division format as shown below
Next take the following step to perform the division
Now, we have completed the table and we obtained the following coefficients, 1, -1, 1, -1, 4
Note that the first four ( 1, -1, 1, -1) are coefficients of the quotient, while the last one (4) is the coefficient of the remainder.
Hence the quotient is
[tex]x^3-x^2+x-1[/tex]
And the remainder is 4.
Hence
[tex]\frac{x^4-3x^3+3x^2-3x+6}{x-2}=x^3-x^2+x-1+\frac{4}{x-2}[/tex]
