Answer 1

Read explanation

Explanation:

The quotient when dividing 275 by -1 is simply -275. Since -1 is negative, the quotient is negative and has the same magnitude as the dividend (275).

If you want to write -275 in a polynomial form, here are a couple of possible ways:

Quadratic polynomial: (-1)x^2 + 275x + 275

Power series: (-1)x + 275 + 275^2 * x^2 + 275^3 * x^3 + ...

However, since -275 is a constant value, it is clearer to write it in its usual notation of -275 rather than in a polynomial form.
