Answer:
The quotient is 2x^2 - x + 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x + 1 is the divisor in long division, then -1 is the divisor in synthetic division:
-1 / 2 1 0 1
-2 1 -1
----------------------
2 -1 1 0
The quotient is 2x^2 - x + 1. The coefficients were obtained through synthetic division.
Irrational
We know that pi is irrational (we can’t express it as a ratio of two numbers), and we are multiplying it by a rational number (-2). However -2 lots of something with infinite digits, will still have infinite digits, therefore it is irrational.
