We need to multiply the factors (x - 2) and (x^2 + 9x + 10) to see if the product is the original expression given.

(x - 2)(x^2 + 9x + 10)

x^3 + 9x^2 + 10x - 2x^2 - 18x - 20

x^3 + 7x^2 - 8x - 20.

Since the product just found is not the original expression given, Jimmy is wrong.

I will complete the work on paper by synthetic division and post my answer.

After using synthetic division, the correct quotient is x^2 + 9x + 20.
