In order to prove that our value of xx is a solution of the third-degree polynomial equation using synthetic division, we need to find the remainder of the division of our polynomial equation divided by the factor (xk)(x-k) where kk is our xx value:

  • If the remainder of the synthetic division is 00, the xx is a sollution of the polynomial equation.

  • If the remainder of the synthetic division is not 00, the xx is not a sollution of the polynomial equation.
