The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing the polynomial \( (15x^2 + x - 6) \) by \( (3x + 2) \), we will use polynomial long division. Here are the steps: ### Step 1: Set up the division We will divide \( 15x^2 + x - 6 \) by \( 3x + 2 \). ### Step 2: Divide the leading terms Divide the leading term of the dividend \( 15x^2 \) by the leading term of the divisor \( 3x \): \[ \frac{15x^2}{3x} = 5x \] This gives us the first term of the quotient. ### Step 3: Multiply and subtract Now, multiply \( 5x \) by the entire divisor \( (3x + 2) \): \[ 5x \cdot (3x + 2) = 15x^2 + 10x \] Next, subtract this result from the original polynomial: \[ (15x^2 + x - 6) - (15x^2 + 10x) = x - 10x - 6 = -9x - 6 \] ### Step 4: Repeat the process Now, we will divide the leading term of the new polynomial \( -9x \) by the leading term of the divisor \( 3x \): \[ \frac{-9x}{3x} = -3 \] This gives us the next term of the quotient. ### Step 5: Multiply and subtract again Now, multiply \( -3 \) by the entire divisor \( (3x + 2) \): \[ -3 \cdot (3x + 2) = -9x - 6 \] Next, subtract this from the current polynomial: \[ (-9x - 6) - (-9x - 6) = 0 \] ### Conclusion Since the remainder is \( 0 \), we conclude that the division is exact. Thus, the quotient is: \[ \text{Quotient} = 5x - 3 \] And the remainder is: \[ \text{Remainder} = 0 \] ### Final Answer: - Quotient: \( 5x - 3 \) - Remainder: \( 0 \) ---
