Factors of Polynomials and Synthetic Divisions

For synthetic division, what would be the number in the left hand box?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

x⁶ - 4 =

• (x³ + 2)(x³ - 2)

• (x³ + 2)(x³ + 2)

• (x^{3 -} 2)(x³ - 2)

• None of the above

If you were dividing x⁶ + 4x³ + 2, how many 0's would you need when setting up the top row of your synthetic division?

• 0

• 2

• 4

• 6

(2x³ + 7x² - 6x - 8) ÷ (x + 4)

• 2x² - x - 2

• 2x³ - x² - 2x

• 2x² + 15x + 54 + 208/x+4

• 2x³ + 15x² + 54x + 208

Divide using synthetic division

(2x³ + 4x² - 5) by (x + 3).

• 2x² + 2x - 4 - 12/(x + 3)

• 2x² - 2x + 6 - 23/(x + 3)

• 2x² - 2x + 8 - 20/(x + 3)

• 2x² - 4x + 1

Use synthetic division:
(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

Use synthetic division to divide the polynomial (2x^4 - 5x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x - 1) by the binomial (x + 1).

• 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 10x - 1

• 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 10x + 6

• 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 10x + 1

• 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 10x - 6
