Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!Which of the following represents the synthetic division form of the long

division problem below?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

You need to equal the denominator (x — 5 = 0)

When you leave the x alone the result is x=5, so the number outside the “house” is five.

Then you look at the equation in the numerator and you place the coefficients in order and with their signals.

X^2 the coefficient is 1

-3x the coefficient is -3

4 the coefficient is 4

Answer 2

Choice C

Explanation:

When setting up synthetic division you do:

x-5=0

x=5

and get the numerator's coefficients:

1, -3, 4

so that's 5 | 1 -3 4
