How did you get the quotient
ScanSolve AI Answer
Answer
The quotient is obtained directly from the numbers in the bottom row of the synthetic division, excluding the last number which is the remainder.
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsIdentify the coefficients from the synthetic division result.
The numbers in the bottom row were .
The last number, 0, is the remainder. The numbers before it, , are the coefficients of the quotient.Determine the degree of the quotient polynomial.
Since the original polynomial was (a cubic polynomial, degree 3) and we divided by a linear factor (degree 1), the quotient polynomial will have a degree of .
Construct the quotient polynomial using the coefficients and the determined degree.
The coefficients correspond to the terms of a quadratic polynomial ().
The first coefficient, 3, is for .
The second coefficient, 7, is for .
The third coefficient, , is the constant term.
Thus, the quotient is .
