To use synthetic division to divide $(-x^3 + 101x - 825)$ by $(x + 11)$, we set up the division with -11 (since we're dividing by $x + 11$, we use the opposite sign). The coefficients of the polynomial are -1 (for $x^3$), 0 (for $x^2$, since it's missing and we need to include it for the division), 101 (for $x$), and -825. Performing synthetic division:-11 | -1  0  101  -825       |____-11  121 -222         -1 -11  122 -1047The result is $-x^2 + 11x - 122$, but there's a mistake in my calculation. Let's correct it:-11 | -1  0  101  -825       |____-11  121 -222         -1 -11  110 -1047Correctly, the division gives us $-x^2 + 11x - 110$, and the remainder is -1047, not -825, indicating a miscalculation in the synthetic division process. Correcting the process:-11 | -1  0  101  -825       |____-11  121 -242         -1 -11  110 -1047The correct division should actually yield $-x^2 + 11x - 110$ with a remainder, but the provided options and my explanation have a mistake in the synthetic division steps. Correctly performing synthetic division:1. Bring down the leading coefficient (-1).2. Multiply -11 by -1 to get 11, add this to the next coefficient (0) to get 11.3. Multiply -11 by 11 to get -121, add this to 101 to get -20.4. Multiply -11 by -20 to get 220, add this to -825 to get -605 (not part of the options, indicating a mistake in my step-by-step explanation).Given the error in the detailed steps, the correct synthetic division process should yield:-11 | -1  0  101  -825       |____-11  121 -1322         -1 -11  110 -605However, this also contains a calculation error. Correcting the synthetic division properly:-11 | -1  0  101  -825       |____-11  121  -242         -1 -11  110  -825The correct division, without calculation errors, should give us the quotient without the remainder being considered in the options. The correct quotient for $(-x^3 + 101x - 825) \div (x + 11)$ is indeed $-x^2 + 11x - 20$, which corresponds to option A, acknowledging an error in the step-by-step calculation process.
