### Synthetic Division Example

**Problem Statement:**
Use synthetic division to find the quotient and remainder when \(8x^6 - 4x^4 + 3x^2 + 6\) is divided by \(x - 2\).

**Solution:**
- **The quotient is:** \(8x^5 + 16x^4 + 28x^3 + 56x^2 + 115x + 230\).
- **The remainder is:** 466.

**Feedback:**
Your solution was marked incorrect.

- **Correct answers:**
  - Quotient: \(8x^5 + 16x^4 + 28x^3 + 56x^2 + 115x + 230\)
  - Remainder: 466

- **Your answers:**
  - Quotient: \(8x^5 + 16x^4 + 28x^3 + 56x^2 + 115x + 230\)
  - Remainder: \(x - 2\)

**Explanation:**
- The correct remainder is a constant: 466, not \(x - 2\).

**Options:**
- You can choose to attempt a similar question or proceed to the next question.

**Synthetic Division of Polynomials**

**Problem:**

Use synthetic division to find the quotient and remainder when \(6x^6 - 2x^4 + 9x^2 + 9\) is divided by \(x - 2\).

**Steps to solve:**

1. Write down the coefficients of the polynomial: 
   - \(6, 0, -2, 0, 9, 0, 9\) 

2. Use synthetic division with the divisor \(x - 2\). The value used for synthetic division is \(2\).

3. Set up the synthetic division:

   \[
   \begin{array}{c|ccccccc}
   2 & 6 & 0 & -2 & 0 & 9 & 0 & 9 \\
     &   & 12 & 24 & 44 & 88 & 194 & 388\\
   \hline
     & 6 & 12 & 22 & 44 & 97 & 194 & 397 \\
   \end{array}
   \]

**Explanation of Diagram:**

- The first row under the line are the initial coefficients.
- The second row is the result of each step, where each entry is obtained by multiplying the previous result by 2 and adding it to the next coefficient.
- The bottom row gives the coefficients of the quotient polynomial, and the final number is the remainder.

**Result:**

- The quotient is \(6x^5 + 12x^4 + 22x^3 + 44x^2 + 97x + 194\).
- The remainder is \(397\).

**Conclusion:**

- The polynomial \(6x^6 - 2x^4 + 9x^2 + 9\) divided by \(x - 2\) gives a quotient \(6x^5 + 12x^4 + 22x^3 + 44x^2 + 97x + 194\) with a remainder of \(397\).
