Question

What is the quotient of y − 5 divided by `2y^2 − 7y − 15`?

Answer 1

`(y-5) div (2y^2-7-15)` results in a quotient of `0` and a remainder of `(y-5)`

Explanation:

Perhaps the question should have been
`color(white)("XXX")(2y^2-7y-15) div (y-5)`

In which case:
`color(white)("XXXX")2y +3`
`y-5 ")" bar(2y^2 -7y-15)`
`color(white)("XXXx")underline(2y^2-10y)`
`color(white)("XXXXXXX")3y-15`
`color(white)("XXXXXXX")underline(3y-15)`
`color(white)("XXXXXXXXXXX")0`
