Since the divisor is in the form (x + #) or (x - #), This can be done by synthetic division.
First put the polynomial ion descending order: x^2 - 7x + 15
Take the coefficients of the terms and follow these steps:
3 | 1 -7 15
3 -12
___________ Bring down the 1, multiply the 3 by the 1 and place under the
1 -4 3 -7, then add.
Multiply 3 by -4, place under the 15, then add.
The bottom row is our answer. Since the problem started with a second power, the answer will start with a first power.
The bottom row are the coefficients of the terms and the last number is the remainder.
x - 4 remainder 3 ALSO WRITTEN x - 4 + 3/(x -3)
Answer:
y = 1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
x - 2y = 4
-2y = -x + 4
2y = x - 4
y = 1/2x - 2
Answer:
Length = 9units
Width = 7units
Step-by-step explanation:
It is said that the length is 2units more than the width
Assume that the width is x, then the length will be 2 + x
ie
Width = x
Length = 2 + x
Area of the rectangle = 63units
Area of rectangle = l * b
l - length of the rectangle
b - width of the rectangle
A = l * b
63 = (2 + x) * x
63 = ( 2 + x) x
63 = 2x + x^2
Let's rearrange it
x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0
Let's find the factor of 63
A factor that can be multiplied to give -63 and that can be added to give +2
Let's use -7 and +9
x^2 - 7x + 9x - 63 = 0
Separate with brackets
( x^2 - 7x) + ( 9x - 63) = 0
x( x - 7) + 9(x - 7) = 0
( x + 9)(x - 7) = 0
( x + 9) = 0
( x - 7) = 0
x + 9 = 0
x = -9
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
Note: the length of a rectangle can not be negative
So therefore,
x = 7
Length = 2 + x
= 2 + 7
= 9units
Width = x
= 7units
I think it is skewed to the left. A
