Question

Which of the following shows the division problem below in synthetic division form? 4x^2-13x+8 / x+5

Answer 1

-5/4 -13 8

Explanation:

Answer 2

Dividing 4x^2 - 13x + 8 by x + 5 or x - (-5), in synthetic division form:

-5) 4 | -13 | 8

↓ 4 x (-5) (-5) x (-33)

4 -33 173

=> Quotient is 4x - 33 and remainder is 173

=> (4x^2 - 13x + 8)/(x + 5) = (4x - 33) + 173/(x + 5)

Hope this helps!
