text: (x^3+4x^2-5x-1)/ (x+2)? using synthestic division how do i find this quotient and its remainder?(x^3+4x^2-5x-1)/ (x+2) x^2+2x-9+[17/(x+2)]  i'm pretty sure that's right...it's hard to explain.  it involves writing the equations in unconventional ways.  did you look at the explanations in your textbook?  those can be really helpful.
