Question

x Michael uses synthetic division to divide f(x) by g(x), his last line of work 0/3is shown. How would he write his answer of f(x) divided by g(x). *7 0 24 0 0

Answer 1

It's important to know that synthetic division gives a polynomial as a result.

Michael obtained 7 0 24 0 0. We just need to add variables to it. As you can observe, there are 5 terms, that means the polynomial is grade 4.

`7x^4+0x^3+24x^2+0x+0`

Therefore, the resulting polynomial is

`7x^4+24x^2`
