Provide an appropriate response.Can synthetic division be used to simplify the quotient ? Explain. [Hint - must the coefficients be integers?]

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. One possible answer follows.
Synthetic division can be used. Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get  . The divisor is now of the form x - c, and synthetic division can be applied.
