Use synthetic division to perform the division.
-$$\frac { 2 x ^ { 3 } + x ^ { 2 } - 5 x + 2 } { x + 5 }$$
A) $2 x ^ { 2 } - 9 x + 40 + \frac { - 198 } { x + 5 }$
B) $2 x ^ { 2 } - 9 x - 40 + \frac { - 198 } { x + 5 }$
C) $2 x ^ { 2 } - 9 x - 40$
D) $2 x ^ { 2 } - 9 x + 40$

To perform synthetic division with $x + 5$, we use -5 as the divisor. The coefficients of the polynomial are 2, 1, -5, and 2. The synthetic division process yields a quotient of $2x^2 - 9x + 40$ and a remainder of -198, leading to the answer $2x^2 - 9x + 40 + \frac{-198}{x + 5}$.
