1. Factor completely the polynomial P(x)=x^3 + 9x^2 + 24x + 20 using synthetic division. Show work.  

2. Use one of the factors & the original P(x), show the factoring while using the long division of polynomials. Only 1 division of polynomials is required.

There are lot of videos on this type of thing.

I have never bothered with synthetic division because you cannot use it in as many circumstances as you can with normal algebraic long division.

there are equally good clips on normal long division too.
