I learned calculus in high school and I never went to college. I did join the military as a Naval Nuclear Mechanic, though.

I'd prefer not to resort to synthetic division.

Feldoh, using words in latex looks messy.

If your function is in the form of f(x)=ax^c, then your derivative is given by \frac{df}{dx}=cax^{c-1} where a and c are constants. Since we know that \frac{d(f+g)}{dx}=\frac{df}{dx}+\frac{dg}{dx}, we can take the derivative of a polynomial VERY easily.

You. OP=Original Post(er)

looks good.

OP doesn't know the shortcut yet and was instructed to do this method.

yes. now solve for your point.
