What is the quotient when x3 − 5x2 + 3x − 8 is divided by x − 3?

1 answer:

6 0

X^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3
Steps
First, divide x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3: x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3 = x^2 + -2x^2 + 3x -8/x - 3
= x^2 + -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3
Second, divide -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3: -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3 = -2x + -3x - 8/x - 3
= x^2 - 2x + -3x - 8/x - 3
Third, divide -3x - 8/x - 3: -3x - 8/x - 3 = -3 + -17/x - 3
= x^2 - 2x - 3 + -17/x - 3
Lastly, simplify
= x^2 - 2x - 3 - 17/x - 3

Help? y - intercepts <br> What is the y-intercept of the equation 2x + 3y = 12?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 12 Is the standard form for linear equations. To determine the slope, solve the equation for y in order to convert to the slope - intercept from7 y = mx + b where is m the slop and b is the y - intercept.

2x + 3y = 12

subtract 2x from both sides.

3y = -2x + 12

Divide both sides by 3.

y= - 2/3 x + 12/3 =

y= - 2/3x + 4

The slope is - 2/3
