Here's how the process of synthetic division works, step-by-step. Divide \(3{x^3} - 4x + 5\) by \((x + 2)\) and state the quotient and remainder. First, make sure the polynomial is listed in order of ...

This example shows the use of the %PDL macro for polynomial distributed lag models. Simulated data is generated so that Y is a linear function of six lags of X, with the lag coefficients following a ...

The previous method works perfectly well but only finds the remainder. To find the quotient as well, use synthetic division as follows. Now you need to factorise the second bracket. There's no point ...
