What divisor is represented by the synthetic division below?
-5, 5, x + 5, x - 5.
Solution:
The dividend given here is
2x3 + 10x2 + x + 5
We see that the numbers
2, 10, 1, and 5 are the coefficients of the polynomial and are on the upper side of the division.
-5 is the opposite of the divisor constant.
So the divisor is written as
x + 5
Therefore, the divisor is x + 5.
What divisor is represented by the synthetic division below?
Summary:
The divisor represented by the synthetic division below is x + 5.
