To use synthetic division, you need to focus on the coefficients of every term.
00:05
So we have 1x to the 5th.
00:08
And because we don't have x to the 4th, it's going to be 0x to the 4th, then 5x to the 3rd.
00:15
Again, we don't have x squared.
00:17
So it's going to be 0x squared as well as 0x because we don't have that.
00:22
But we do have a constant 10 minus 10.
00:26
And then we're going to divide it by x plus 1.
00:29
Now, to make x plus 1 0, we know x has to be negative 1, because negative 1 plus 1 will be 0.
00:37
So we're going to divide by negative 1, and then we're going to list out all of the coefficients.
00:46
Then you're going to bring down the first coefficient, which is 1, and then you're going to multiply negative 1, and you're going to put in the next column.
00:55
So that'll be negative 1...
