Question 443086
I am having trouble with this homework problem, I'm not sure what to do could you please help me:
Use the polynomial that defines P as the dividend and the binomial that defines D as the divisor. Write the division in the form P(x)=D(x) x Q(x)+R where the polynomial that defines Q is the quotient and R is an integar remainder for the equation P(x)=2x^3-5x^2+8x-5; D(x)= x - 1
----
Divide P(x) by D(x) to find Q(x) and R
--------
Using synthetic division I get:
1)....2....-5....8....-5
.......2.....-3...5...|..0

----
Q(x) = Quotient = 2x^2-3x+5
R = Remainder = 0
------------------------------
P(x) = (x-1)(2x^2-3x+5)+0
