Question

What dividend is represented by the synthetic division below?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 2x^3+10x^2+x+5

Answer 2

The number that is divided is called the dividend and the number which the dividend is being divided by is the divisor. The answer to a division problem is the quotient.

In the given question  2   10   1    5 is being divided by -5

So 2   10  1  5  represent the dividend .These numbers are the coefficients of the constants which are arranged in descending order.The dividend can be written as :

$2x^{3} +10x^{2} +x+5$

The second option is the right answer.
