For this case we must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the dividend until reaching the remainder.

It must be fulfilled that:

Dividend = Quotient * Divider + Remainder

Looking at the attached image we have that the quotient is given by:


x ^ 2 + 7x + 2

Answer:

Option C
