Algebra.Com's Answer #44982 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When you are dividing by x+5 you start the process with -5. \n" ); document.write( "because you are testing the root x=-5 and you are finding \n" ); document.write( "f(-5) which in your problem turns out to be zero, indicating \n" ); document.write( "that -5 is a root and x=5 is a factor of your 4th degree \n" ); document.write( "polynomial. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "I have put in the intermediate step in the synthetic \n" ); document.write( "division process. Does that help you understand \n" ); document.write( "how I arrived at the Quotient and Remainder? \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "========================= \n" ); document.write( "3x^4+11x^3-20x^2+7x+35/x+5 \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "-5)...3....11....-20....7....35 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "..........-15.....+20....0...-35 \n" ); document.write( "_____________________________________ \n" ); document.write( "......3....-4.......0.....7..|..0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Quotient: 3x^3-4x^2+7 \n" ); document.write( "Remainder: 0\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
