Question

Use synthetic division to divide (x^3 +12x^2 +48x +26) / (x+4)

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Explanation:

(x^3 +12x^2 +38x +26) / (x+4)

Use the coefficients of dividend.

And the divisor is -4:

Bring down 1 and multiply it by -4 and add to 12

12-4 = 8

Now multiply 8 by -4 = -32

48-32 = 6

Now multiply 6 by -4 = -24

26-24= R2

1 12 38 26

-4 -32 -24

_______________

1 8 6 R2

Thus the correct option is C ....
