Question

Which of the following represents the divisor and the dividend for the
synthetic division problem below?
-1)29 7
OA. x+1 and 2x² +9x+7
OB. x+1 and -2*² -9x-7
OC. x-1 and 2x² +9x +7
OD. x-1 and -2*² -9x-7

Answer 1

The dividend is $2x^2+9x+7$ while the divisor is x + 1

Option A is correct

Division of polynomial using synthetic division

The coefficient outside the division block is -1.

This means that the divisor = x + 1

Also, the coefficients of the dividend are:

2, 9, 7

The highest exponent is 2 since there are three terms in the polynomial. Three terms show that the expression is a quadratic expression

Therefore, the dividend is $2x^2+9x+7$
