Answer:

The dividend in the synthetic division below is x+2:

4 | -6 -5 4 -7

- --------------

- -1 -1 1 -5

0 | -5 -4 3 -2

- --------------

2 | x+2

In synthetic division, the numbers in the top row represent the coefficients of the polynomial being divided, and the number in the bottom row represents the value of the dividend. In this case, the dividend is x+2 because it is the only number in the bottom row that is not a result of the division operation
