I just need an explanation on why I was wrong and why the correct answer is correct

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alja [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the divisor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, -c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

2| -2 1 5 0 4 1

↓ -4 -6 -2 -4 0

_________________

-2 -3 -1 -2 0 1→ -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹

You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [-2x⁵ + x⁴ + 5x³ + 4x + 1]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is, tells you whether the next step is to <em>subtract</em> or <em>add</em>, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that -2 in your quotient can be a -2x⁴, and the -3 [x³] follows right behind it, then 1 [-x²], -2[x], and finally, [1\x - 2] (remainder is 1, so set it over your denominator, which is the divisor), giving you the other factor of -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

**(x - 2)^{-1} =  \frac{1}{x - 2}

Determine whether the underlined numerical value is a parameter or a statistic. Explain your reasoning. In a certain soccer leag
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A Parameter is a value that represents a property of a population. This could be the population mean.

A statistic is a value that represents a property of a sample. This could be the sample mean.

In the given scenario, the population is the entire 14 teams. This means that the percentage given is a value representing a property of the population. Therefore, the correct answer is

C. Parameter, because the data set of all 14 teams is a population.

Henry buys 6 circus tickets for himself and five friends for a total of $174. Each friend pays Henry back for his or her ticket.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, you have that 6 tickets for the price of each ticket is equal to $174 and from that, you can determine the price of each ticket:

6*P=174

P= price of each ticket

P= 174/6= 29

Now, as it says that one of Henry's friends gives him two $20 bills, that means that he gives him $40 and you have to subtract the price of the ticket from that:

40-29= 11

The answer is that if one of Henry's friends gives him two $20 bills, Henry has to return $11.

Problem Solving
N76 [4]

you're absolutely correct.

each system is sold for $2150, that includes cost + markup, namely the markup is the surplus amount otherwise called "profit".

they sold 12 of those, 2150 * 12 = 25800

they had $4824.36 in profits from it, so if we subtract that from the sale price, we'll be left with the cost of all 12 systems

25800 - 4824.36 = 20975.64

that's the cost for all 12 systems sold, how many times does 12 go into 20975.64?  20975.64 ÷ 12 = 1747.97.

Solve for all values of x by factoring.<br> x^2 + 4x – 30 = -3x
vichka [17]

Answer:

{x}^{2}  + 4x - 30 =  - 3x \\{x}^{2}  + 7x - 30 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 3x + 10x - 30 = 0 \\ x(x - 3) + 10(x - 3) = 0 \\ (x - 3)(x + 10) = 0 \\  \boxed{x = 3} \\  \boxed{x =  - 10}

<h3><em><u>x=3 or x=-10</u></em> is the right answer.</h3>
