The expression
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The expression
Consider the provided expression
The statement is true because when a polynomial is divided by its factor then dividend is the product of divisor and quotient increased by remainder.
In the synthetic division leading coefficients in descending powers of x of dividend are listed.
The given dividend is a cubic polynomial. The last row of synthetic division represents quotient and remainder. The first entries are quotient that is polynomial with one less degree as that of dividend and last entry is remainder.
Therefore,
Here, dividend is
Thus, the expression
