Question

Use synthetic division to determine the quotient of (5x^4+2x^2-15x+10)/(x+2). Solve like the example attached.

Is x+2 a factor of the dividend?

Solution: 3x - 5; Video: https://www.loom.com/share/3380d1d4b923493db7f9601d8c5
3x²-17x+20
X-4

X-4=0
X=4

+ 12 -20
3x - 5x
10 → Rem
Constant
* Quohent: 3x-5 *
Because remainder is 0; 3x-5
and X-4 are factors of the dividend
(3x-5)(x-4)= 3x²-17x+-20
