Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

Melissa is using synthetic division to divide.

Which answer is correct?

Answer 1

Answer: (C) divide by 1

Explanation:

when dividing by x - 1, set the expression equal to zero to find the zero. That is actually what you are dividing by:

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

so the number outside of the synthetic division symbol is 1.
