Q. Use synthetic division to find (x2+6x28)÷(x+5)(x^2 + 6x - 28) \div (x + 5).\newlineWrite your answer in the form q(x)+rd(x)q(x) + \frac{r}{d(x)}, where q(x)q(x) is a polynomial, rr is an integer, and d(x)d(x) is a linear polynomial. Simplify any fractions.\newline______
  1. Set up synthetic division: Set up synthetic division with 5-5 (the root of x+5x + 5) and the coefficients of the polynomial x2+6x28x^2 + 6x - 28, which are 11, 66, and 28-28.
  2. Perform synthetic division: Perform synthetic division:\newline5-5 | 11 66 28-28\newline | 5-5 5-5\newline ------------\newline 11 11 33-33
  3. Write result as polynomial: Write the result of synthetic division as a polynomial plus a remainder: q(x)=1x+1q(x) = 1x + 1 and the remainder is 33-33.
  4. Express result in form: Express the result in the form q(x)+rd(x)q(x) + \frac{r}{d(x)}: q(x)=x+1q(x) = x + 1 and rd(x)=33x+5\frac{r}{d(x)} = -\frac{33}{x + 5}.
  5. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible. Since 33/(x+5)-33/(x + 5) cannot be simplified further, this is the final form.
