Question

What divisor is represented by the synthetic division below?  –5 5 x + 5 x – 5

Answer 1

The correct answer is X+5

Answer 2

For this case, the dividend is given by:

`2x ^ 3 + 10x ^ 2 + x + 5`
We note that the following numbers:
2, 10, 1, 5
They are the coefficients of the polynomial and they are in the upper part of the division.
The number -5 is the opposite value of the divisor constant.
Therefore, the divisor is given by:
x + 5
Answer:
The divisor is:
x + 5
