Question

Divide the polynomial by the accompanying linear expression:2x^3+17x+15, x+4

Answer 1

2x^3+17x+15 : (x+4)

2x^2-8x+15

-2x^3-8x^2

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

-8x^2+17x+15

8x^2+32x

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

15x+15

-15x-60

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

-45

therefore

The quotient is 2x^2-8x+15

The remainder is -45
