Question

$p\left(x\right)=(x^2-10x-24)$ , when divided by $x+2$ and $x\ne -2$ gives the quotient $Q$. Find $Q$.

• A. $x-22$
• B. $x-12$
• C. $x+12$
• D. $x+22$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$x-12$

Quotient	$x-12$
$x+2$	$x^2-10x-24$ $x^2+2x$ $-$ $-$
	$-12x-24$ $-12x-24$ $+$ $+$ ------------------------------ $0$

Using division algorithm method we get the value of $Q=x-12$.
