What is the remainder when 3 is synthetically divided into the polynomial -x^2 + 5x - 9? a: 0 b: -3 c: -6 d: 5

Take the coefficients of each term and list them.

- 1 5 - 9

Multiply 3 by the first coefficient and combine it from the second. 

- 1 * 3 = - 3, 5 - 3 = 2

Multiply 3 by this product and combine it from the third term.

3 * 2 = 6, - 9 + 6 = - 3

Your remainder is option B, - 3. 

The answer is d 18ft
