1 answer

Let's solve the problem step-by-step based on the given structure.

Given:

  • The divisor is \( x - 2 \).
  • The quotient is \( 2x^2 + 8x + 5 \).
  • The remainder is \( 22 \).

1. Write the division equation:

The general form of polynomial long division can be expressed as:

\[ \frac{f(x)}{x - 2} = \text{quotient} + \frac{\text{remainder}}{\text{divisor}} \]

So we have:

\[ \frac{f(x)}{x - 2} = (2x^2 + 8x + 5) + \frac{22}{x - 2} \]

2. Multiply both sides by \( x - 2 \) to get \( f(x) \):

\[ f(x) = (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(x - 2) + 22 \]

3. Distribute \( (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(x - 2) \):

First, distribute:

\[ f(x) = (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(x) - (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(2) \]

Calculating the first term:

\[ (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(x) = 2x^3 + 8x^2 + 5x \]

Calculating the second term:

\[ (2x^2 + 8x + 5)(2) = 4x^2 + 16x + 10 \]

Now, putting this together:

\[ f(x) = (2x^3 + 8x^2 + 5x) - (4x^2 + 16x + 10) + 22 \]

4. Combine like terms:

Combine the like terms:

  1. Cubic term: \( 2x^3 \)
  2. Quadratic terms: \( 8x^2 - 4x^2 = 4x^2 \)
  3. Linear terms: \( 5x - 16x = -11x \)
  4. Constant terms: \( 22 - 10 = 12 \)

Putting this all together, we get:

\[ f(x) = 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 12 \]

Final Answer

Therefore, the function \( f(x) \) in standard form is:

\[ \boxed{2x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 12} \]
