Which of the following factors is found when trying to prove that (x2+2) is a factor of the function f(x)=2x4+3x3-x2+6x-10?
A. 2x2-2x-5
B. 2x2+3x-5
C. 2x2-3x-5
D. 2x2+2x-5
The way to do it is divide (2x4 + 3x3 - x2 + 6x -10) by (x2 + 2) using long division or synthetic division and whatever you get is the answer.
So it is B: 2x2 + 3x - 5
