Question

HELP ASAP!!! IM BEING TIMED. Use synthetic division to test one potential root. Enter the numbers that complete the division problem.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 * (-5) = -5     a = -5

6 + (-5) = 1      b = 1

1 * (-5 ) = -5     c = -5

-7 + -5 = -12     d = -12

Answer 2

Answer:

So a=-5,c=-5,b=1,c=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

In synthetic division, you add the columns inside the box, you multiply the number under the bar by the number outside to get the next number in the column.

Example

Divide $x^3+10x^2-5x+1$ by $x+4$.

-4 goes on the outside because  you are dividing by (x+4).

-4   |    1          10        -5        1

     |               -4       -24        116

     -------------------------------------

          1           6        -29        117

So your problem you have this setup:

-5  |   1       6           -7         -60

    |

     ---------------------------------------

This is enough information to figure out the letter's you have:

So your problem you have this setup:

-5  |   1       6           -7         -60

    |          -5          -5           60

     ---------------------------------------

        1         1         -12          0

So a=-5,c=-5,b=1,c=-12
