Answer 1

-4 1. -8. 24. 12. 40 -4. 48. -288. 1104 1 -12. 72. -276. R1144 ANSWER: X^3-12x^2+72x-276+1144/x+4

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide polynomial using synthetic division

$(x^5-8x^3+24x^2+12x+40)\div (x+4)$

First we write polynomial with all term.

$(x^5+0x^4-8x^3+24x^2+12x+40)\div (x+4)$

Using Synthetic Division:

First write -4 and coefficient of polynomial in order.

  -4  |  1      0       -8        24        12         40  |

                -4       16       -32        32      -172

          1     -4        8         -8        44     -136

Quotient: $x^4-4x^3+8x^2-8x+44$

Remainder: $-136$
