Re: Compute the solution:

Dear ganesh, thanks for initiative. The exercises are absolutely helpful for revision. Got an exam to prepare for so will work out questions later. Have a question though. No. 16 made mention of 'synthetic division'. I've never heard that. What's it pls? Thanks.

Hey bobbym, you are a shark! Wow!

Regards, Ama.
