One of the ways of dividing polynomials is by synthetic division
The divisor of the synthetic division is x + 5
<h3>How to determine the divisor of the division</h3>From the question, we understand that:
Entry -5 is on the outside to the left of the shape
The entry represents the zero of the divisor.
Next, we set this entry to the variable (assume the variable is x)
So, we have:
Add 5 to both sides
Hence, the divisor of the synthetic division is x + 5
