(2x³ + 5x² + 9) ÷ (x + 3)

• 2x² - x + 3

• 2x³ - x² + 3x

• 2x² + 11x + 33 + 108/x+3

• 2x² - 5x + 12

(2x³ - 5x² + 3x + 7) ÷ (x - 2)

• 2x³ - x² + x + 9

• 2x² - x + 1

• 2x² - x + 1 + 9/x-2

• 2x² - 9x - 15 - 23/x-2

Cam divided (x⁴ + 3x² - 4x - 2) by factor of (x-2) using synthetic division. His work is shown above. Which best describes his mistake?

• Cam wrote the remainder incorrectly.

• Cam did not use a zero place holder for the x³ term.

• Cam added instead of subtracting the rows.

• Cam should have used -2 as his division since the factor was x-2.
