Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide polynomial using synthetic division

[tex](x^5-8x^3+24x^2+12x+40)\div (x+4)[/tex]

First we write polynomial with all term.

[tex](x^5+0x^4-8x^3+24x^2+12x+40)\div (x+4)[/tex]

Using Synthetic Division:

First write -4 and coefficient of polynomial in order.

  -4  |  1      0       -8        24        12         40  |

                -4       16       -32        32      -172

          1     -4        8         -8        44     -136

Quotient: [tex]x^4-4x^3+8x^2-8x+44[/tex]

Remainder: [tex]-136[/tex]
