    The dividend should be like this ax^n + bx^n-1 + cx^n-2 + dx^n-3 + ... + constant. the x4 term is dx^n-3, so the coefficient d must be = 0

    the answer is B: 0

    B. 0

    Whenever the coefficient of a term is 0, it is not written in a polynomial because the product of the term and its coefficient becomes 0 and adding or subtracting 0 has no significance.
