Question

Use synthetic division to solve (x^3-x^2-17x-15) / (x-5). What is the quotient?

Answer 1

A on eden

Explanation:

Did the test

Answer 2

Quotient is
`1x^2 + 4x +3`

Explanation:

`(x^3-x^2-17x-15)`

The coefficient of given expression is 1, -1, -17, -15

we divide by x-5, that is x=5

5 1 -1 -17 -15

5 20 15

1 4 3 0 ---> Remainder

Answer 1, 4, 3 is the quotient

We write quotient as 1x^2 + 4x +3
