If you are missing a term in your polynomials (both dividend and divisor), you must put a zero as a coefficient place holder for that term.

• True

• False

• Only for the dividend

• Only for the divisor

What would be the coefficients we use to solve:

 $\frac{\left(5x^7+3x^6-9x^4+4x^3+2x-37\right)}{x+1}$  

•  $5,\ \ 3,-9,\ \ 4,\ \ 2,-37$  

•  $5,\ \ 3,\ \ 0,-9,\ \ 4,\ \ 0,\ \ 2,-37$  
  

•  $5,\ \ 3,\ \ 0,-9,\ \ 4,\ \ 2,-37$  

•  $5,\ \ 3,\ \ 0,-9,\ \ 4,\ \ 2$  

Which is NOT true about synthetic division?

• The number that goes in the box is the opposite of the factor you are dividing by.

• If the last number in your answer is 0 that means there is no remainder.

• The answer to any division problem is called the quotient.

• If your answer has any negative numbers in it, then it is incorrect.

For synthetic division, what would be the number in the left hand box?

• 0
• 1
• 2
• 3

x²-6x+8 ÷ x-2

• x-6
• x-9 R=2
• x-4
• x-8 R=3

Use synthetic division:
(2x³ - 5x - 7) ÷ (x - 2)

• 2x³ - 4x² + 3x - 13
• 2x³ + 4x² +3x - 1
• 2x² - 4x + 3 - 13/x-2
• 2x² + 4x + 3 - 1/x-2

What is the proper way to write the answer for the following problem?

• 2x³-x²-25x+12

• 2x⁴-x³-25x²-12x+0

• 2x³-x²-25x-12

• 2x⁴-x³-25x²-12x-0
