Question

Use the long division method to find the result when 8x3 + 14x2 11x - 8 is divided by 2x + 1. If there is a remainder, express the result in the form q(a) +

Answer 1

Let's develop a synthetic division

As you can observe, the division is exact because its reminder is zero.

Hence, the answer is-

`(8x^3+14x^2-11x-8)/(2x+1)=4x^2+5x-8`
