Question

Divide. (2x^3 – x^2 – 24x + 12) ÷ (2x – 1)
A. x^2 – 1
B. x^2 – 12
C. 2x – 1

Answer 1

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
Clearly, dividing a cubic by a linear factor will yield a quadratic quotient.
B. x^2 - 12
since 2x^3 – x^2 – 24x + 12 = (2x-1)(x^2-12)

Answer 2

C. 2x - 1

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct, the quotient is indeed a quadratic. The correct answer is B. x^2 - 12. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
