Beyond the Answer
To use synthetic division for \( \frac{x^{3}-5x+22}{x+5} \), we set \( x + 5 = 0 \) which gives us \( x = -5 \). Now we arrange the coefficients of the polynomial \( x^3 + 0x^2 - 5x + 22 \) (note that \( 0 \) is for the missing \( x^2 \) term): The coefficients are: \( 1, 0, -5, 22 \). We set up synthetic division as follows: \[ \begin{array}{r|rrrr} -5 & 1 & 0 & -5 & 22 \\ & & -5 & 25 & -100 \\ \hline & 1 & -5 & 20 & -78 \\ \end{array} \] The bottom row gives us the coefficients of the quotient and the remainder: - The quotient is \( x^2 - 5x + 20 \) (the first three numbers). - The remainder is \( -78 \) (the last number). So, the final results are: - Quotient: \( x^2 - 5x + 20 \) - Remainder: \( -78 \)
