Question

Divide the following polynomial using synthetic division, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer in descending powers of x.
(12x 4 + 17x 3 + 8x - 40) ÷ (x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

first you need to factorize

the answer is 107 x − 40

Answer 2

Answer:

The quotient bin descending power of x is:

Q(x) = 12x³-7x²+14x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial function

P(x) = 12x⁴ + 17x³ + 8x - 40

Divisor D(x) = x+2

Quotient Q(x) = P(x)/D(x)
