What are the quotient and remainder of [tex]\frac{3x^4 - 2x + 7x - 4}{x - 3}[/tex]?

A. Quotient: [tex]3x^3 + 7x^2 + 21x + 70[/tex], Remainder: 206
B. Quotient: [tex]3x^3 + 7x^2 + 21x + 70[/tex], Remainder: -206
C. Quotient: [tex]3x^4 + 7x^3 + 21x^2 + 70[/tex], Remainder: 206
D. Quotient: [tex]3x^3 + 7x^2 + 21x + 70[/tex], Remainder: 76

Answer :

Final answer:

The question appears to be incorrectly transcribed, mixing two mathematical problems.

For polynomial division, the specific quotient and remainder cannot be provided without the correct polynomials.

Order of operations must be followed for the other operations mentioned and in one example provided, the solution is 17.

Explanation:

The provided question seems to contain a transcription error and mixes two different mathematical problems.

The correct process to solve the type of problem that seems to have been intended (finding the quotient and remainder of polynomial division) involves dividing the polynomial (3x4 - 2x + 7) by (x - 3) using long division or synthetic division.

However, without the correct polynomials, we cannot provide the specific quotient and remainder.

For the other mathematical operations mentioned, the order of operations must be followed, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right), often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS.

For example, in the problem 4 + 9 \/ 3 - 2 x 3 + (3 + 1) x 4, calculations within parentheses are done first, followed by multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction to obtain the result of 17.

Without the correct polynomials for the division process, it's not possible to select the correct quotient and remainder from the options provided
