Chapter 1/Section 6

Use synthetic division to find the sum of a, b, c, and d.

you found ax^2 - b x + 11)+ d/(x + 2) to be equal to x^2 - 4 x + 11)+ -17/(x + 2)

compare:
=>
a=1
b=-4
c=11d=-17

the sum a+b+c+d=1+(-4)+11+(-17)=-9

the sum a+b+c+d=1+(-4)+11+(-17)=-9

Very cool. By the way, I am leaving FB. We can stay in touch via PM here.

I suspected that this is the requested sum but decided to do what I did.
