Answer

$3x^3-4x^2+7$.

Work Step by Step

Divide the polynomial $3x^4+11x^3-20x^2+7x+35$ by $x-c$, where $c=-5$, using synthetic division $\begin{matrix} -5) &3&11&-20&7&35 \\ & &-15&20&0 &-35\\ & --&--&--& --&--\\ & 3&-4&0&7&0 ​\end{matrix}$ The quotient is $3x^3-4x^2+0x+7$ and the remainder is zero. Simplify the quotient. $=3x^3-4x^2+7$ Hence, the solution is $3x^3-4x^2+7$.
