Need help using synthetic division! ​

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're dividing the polynomial by , we'll be using -1 to start the division.

Before setting the division up, let's list the coefficients of from descending powers and the constant.

The coefficient of is 3

Since we don't see an , the coefficient will be 0.

The coefficient of is 5.

Lastly, the constant, which is the term without the is -1.

Refer to the attached picture before continuing.

After referring to the picture, we now have the coefficients for the quotient.

The coefficient of is 3.

The coefficient of is -3.

The constant is 8.

Lastly, since the last number is not zero, it's the remainder just like regular division. This can be tricky to remember, but -9 is not the actual remainder.

The remainder is actually .

Now putting all the pieces together, we get:

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

-4

step-by-step explanation:

(-4+8)=-(4-8)=-8+4=-4
