Answer:
8
5x + 7 + ----------
x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 5x 2 - 18x -27 by x - 5 using synthetic division. Important: Please use the symbol " ^ " to denote exponentiation.
Divide 5x^2 - 18x -27 by x - 5 using synthetic division.
Setting up synth. div., we choose the divisor to be 5. That comes from (x-5)=0. Then,
5 / 5 -18 -27
25 35
------------------------
5 7 8
Because the remainder (8) is not zero, x-5 is not a factor of 5x^2 - 18x -27.
The "answer" is thus:
8
5x + 7 + ----------
x - 5
