The value of a is -5 if the provided polynomial is divided by (3x + 2) option first -5 is correct.
Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants systematically with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.
[tex]\rm a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4..........a_nx^n[/tex]

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
We have a polynomial:
3x² + 5x - 3
Which is divided by (3x + 2)
= (3x² + 5x - 3) ÷ (3x + 2)
[tex]\rm = \dfrac{\left(3x^2+5x-3\right)}{\left(3x+2\right)}[/tex]
[tex]\rm =x+\dfrac{3x-3}{3x+2}[/tex]
[tex]\rm =x+1+\dfrac{-5}{3x+2}[/tex]
[tex]\rm =x+1-\dfrac{5}{3x+2}[/tex]
By comparing with the given remainder.
a = -5
Thus, the value of a is -5 if the provided polynomial is divided by (3x + 2) option first -5 is correct.
