Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward polynomial division requiring only one step: dividing 2x² by (x+2) to get quotient 2x-4 and remainder 8. It's a routine mechanical procedure with minimal algebraic manipulation, significantly easier than typical A-level questions which usually involve multi-step problems or application of concepts.
Carry out division or equivalent, at least as far as two terms of quotient
M1
Obtain quotient \(2x - 4\)
A1
Obtain remainder \(8\)
