Answer 1

Answer:

The quotient is (10x - 5) and the reminder is -50 ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets solve the long division by easiest way

∵ (10x² - 85x - 10)/(x - 8)

∵ (10x² - 85x - 10) is the dividend

∵ (x - 8) is the divisor

- Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor

∴ 10x² ÷ x = 10x ⇒ first term of the quotient

- Multiply 10x by the the divisor

∴ 10x(x - 8) = 10x² - 80x

- Subtract the answer from the dividend

∴ (10x² - 85x - 10) - (10x² - 80x) =

# 10x² - 10x² = 0

# -85x - -80x = -85x + 80x = -5x

# -10

∴ (10x² - 85x - 10)/(x - 8) = 10x + (-5x - 10)/(x - 8)

* Repeat the same steps again with the new dividend -5x - 10

- Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor

∴ -5x ÷ x = -5 ⇒ second term of the quotient

- Multiply -5 by the divisor

∴ -5(x - 8) = -5x + 40

- Subtract the answer from the dividend

∴ (-5x - 10) - (-5x + 40) =

# -5x - -5x = -5x + 5x = 0

# -10 - 40 = -50

∴ (-5x - 10)/(x - 8) = -5 + -50/(x - 8)

∴ (10x² - 85x - 10)/(x - 8) = 10x - 5 + -50/(x - 8)

- The quotient is the answer of the division

∴ The quotient is (10x - 5) and the reminder is -50
