Perform the following divisions: (a) (2x^3 + 2x − 1) ÷ (x − 1) (b) (x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x) ÷ (x^2 + x) (c) (x^5 − 3x^4 + 1) ÷ (x^2 + x + 1) (d) (3x^8 + x^2 + 1) ÷ (x^3 − 2x + 1)

Step 1
(a) (2x3 + 2x − 1) ÷ (x − 1) We can use long division to solve this: 2x^2 + 4x + 3 x - 1 | 2x^3 + 2x - 1 -2x^3 + 2x^2 ------------- 2x^2 - 1 -2x^2 + 2x --------- 2x - Show more…

Choose the division problem that cannot be done using synthetic division. (a) $2 x^{3}-4 x^{2}+6 x-8$ is divided by $x-8$ (b) $x^{4}-3$ is divided by $x+1$ (c) $x^{5}+3 x^{2}-9 x+2$ is divided by $x+10$ (d) $x^{4}-5 x^{3}+3 x^{2}-9 x+13$ is divided by $x^{2}+5$
