According to the synthetic division below, which of the following statements are true?

Options (A) and (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the given division as,

Option (A)

When (2x² + 6x - 8) is divided (x + 5), the remainder is 12.

True.

Option (B)

When (2x² + 6x - 8) is divided (x - 5), the remainder is 12.

False.

Option (C)

When x = 5,

2x² + 6x - 8 = 12

2(5)² + 6(5) - 8 = 50 + 30 - 8

                        = 72

False.

Option (D)

When x = -5,

2(-5)² + 6(-5) - 8 = 50 - 30 - 8

                          = 12

True.

Option (E)

(x - 5) is a factor of 2x² + 6x - 8

If (x - 5) is a factor value of 2x² + 6x - 8 should be zero.

False.

Option (F)

(x + 5) is a factor of 2x² + 6x - 8

If (x + 5) is a factor then by substituting x = -5 in the expression value should be zero.

But the value is 12.

False.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
