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

• Cal wrote the remainder incorrectly.

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

• Cal added instead of subtracting the rows.

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

Use synthetic division to find the quotient: (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

Use synthetic division to find the quotient: (3x³ + 5x - 1) ÷ (x + 1)

• 3x³ - 3x² + 8x - 9
• 3x² - 3x + 8 - 9/x+1
• 3x² + 3x + 8 + 7/x+1
• 3x³ + 3x² + 8x + 7

Use synthetic division to find the quotient: (2x³ + 5x² + 9) ÷ (x + 3)

• 2x³ - x² + 3x
• 2x² + 11x + 33 + 108/x+3
• 2x² - 5x + 12

Use synthetic division to find the quotient: (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
