use synthetic division to solve $(3x^{4}+6x^{3}+2x^{2}+9x + 10)div(x + 2)$. what is the quotient?\n$3x^{3}+12x^{2}+26x + 61+\frac{132}{x + 2}$\n$3x^{3}+2x+5$\n$3x^{3}+12x^{2}+26x + 61+\frac{132}{x - 2}$\n$3x^{4}+2x^{2}+5x$
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Set up synthetic division
The divisor is (x + 2), so we use (c=-2). The coefficients of the dividend (3x^{4}+6x^{3}+2x^{2}+9x + 10) are (3,6,2,9,10).
Step2: Bring down the first coefficient
Bring down the first - coefficient (3):
| - 2 | 3 6 2 9 10 |
|---|---|
Step3: Multiply and add
Multiply (-2\times3=-6), add to the second coefficient: (6+( - 6)=0).
| - 2 | 3 6 2 9 10 |
|---|---|
| - 6 |
Step4: Repeat multiplication and addition
Multiply (-2\times0 = 0), add to the third coefficient: (2+0 = 2).
| - 2 | 3 6 2 9 10 |
|---|---|
| - 6 0 |
Step5: Repeat again
Multiply (-2\times2=-4), add to the fourth coefficient: (9+( - 4)=5).
| - 2 | 3 6 2 9 10 |
|---|---|
| - 6 0 - 4 |
Step6: One more time
Multiply (-2\times5=-10), add to the fifth coefficient: (10+( - 10)=0).
| - 2 | 3 6 2 9 10 |
|---|---|
| - 6 0 - 4 - 10 | |
| The quotient is (3x^{3}+0x^{2}+2x + 5=3x^{3}+2x + 5) and the remainder is (0). |
Answer:
B. (3x^{3}+2x + 5)
