The correct Answer is:
To find the quotient and remainder when dividing \(6x^2 - 31x + 47\) by \(2x - 5\), we can use polynomial long division. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Set up the division We will divide \(6x^2 - 31x + 47\) by \(2x - 5\). ### Step 2: Divide the leading terms Divide the leading term of the dividend \(6x^2\) by the leading term of the divisor \(2x\): \[ \frac{6x^2}{2x} = 3x \] This means our first term in the quotient is \(3x\). ### Step 3: Multiply and subtract Now, multiply \(3x\) by the entire divisor \(2x - 5\): \[ 3x \cdot (2x - 5) = 6x^2 - 15x \] Now subtract this from the original polynomial: \[ (6x^2 - 31x + 47) - (6x^2 - 15x) = -31x + 15x + 47 = -16x + 47 \] ### Step 4: Repeat the process Now, we will divide the new leading term \(-16x\) by the leading term of the divisor \(2x\): \[ \frac{-16x}{2x} = -8 \] So, the next term in the quotient is \(-8\). ### Step 5: Multiply and subtract again Multiply \(-8\) by the entire divisor \(2x - 5\): \[ -8 \cdot (2x - 5) = -16x + 40 \] Now subtract this from \(-16x + 47\): \[ (-16x + 47) - (-16x + 40) = 47 - 40 = 7 \] ### Step 6: Conclusion At this point, we cannot divide further since the degree of the remainder \(7\) is less than the degree of the divisor \(2x - 5\). Thus, the quotient is: \[ 3x - 8 \] And the remainder is: \[ 7 \] ### Final Answer **Quotient:** \(3x - 8\) **Remainder:** \(7\) ---
