Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the divisor in the synthetic division

The synthetic division problem is set up with the divisor \( x + 3 \). This is because the number used in the synthetic division is \(-3\) (the root of \( x + 3 = 0 \)).

Step 2: Verify the dividend and quotient

The dividend in the synthetic division is \( x^{3} + x^{2} - 14x + 6 \). The quotient obtained from the synthetic division is \( x^{2} + 4x - 2 \).

Step 3: Match the correct equation

The correct equation represented by the synthetic division is: \[ \left(x^{3} + x^{2} - 14x + 6\right) \div (x + 3) = x^{2} + 4x - 2 \] This matches the first option provided.

Final Answer

The correct answer is A.
