Dividing Polynomials with Synthetic Division

Perform synthetic division to divide (3x^3 + 5x^2 - 2x + 7) by (x - 2).

• 3x^2 + 11x + 22 + 51/(x - 3)

• 3x^2 + 11x + 22 + 51/(x + 1)

• 3x^2 + 11x + 22 + 51/(x - 2)

• 3x^2 + 11x + 22 + 51/(x + 2)

Answer explanation

The synthetic division process correctly yields 3x^2 + 11x + 22 with a remainder of 51/(x - 2), leading to the correct answer choice.
