Question

Complete the synthetic division problem below. What is the quotient in polynomial form?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: OPTION C

Explanation:

You need to follow these steps:

- Carry the number 1 down and multiply it by the number 2.

- Place the product obtained above the horizontal line, below the number 5 and add them.

- Put the sum below the horizontal line.

- Multiply this sum by the number 2.

- Place the product obtained above the horizontal line, below the number -14 and add them.

Then:

`2\ |\ 1\ \ 5\ -14\\\\.\ \ |\ \ \ \ 2\ \ \ 14\\------\\.\ \ \ 1\ \ \ 7\ \ 0`

Therefore, the quotient in polynomial form is:

`x+7`
