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}

The number of yards of fabric needed for Robs costume is (7/8+1/2+1 3/4)÷2. How does the amount of fabric needed for Robs costum
exis [7]

The amount of fabric needed for Jimmy's costume is not stated, we can only determine the amount needed for Rob's costume, which makes it impossible to compare the amounts needed for both of their costumes. If this omission was an error, then you can find the difference between these amounts if the amount needed for Jimmy's costume is stated explicitly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of yards of fabric needed for Robs costume is (7/8+1/2+1 3/4)÷2

Assuming 1 3/4 is a mixed fraction.

= (7/8 + 1/2 + 7/4) ÷ 2

= (7 + 4 + 2) ÷ (8 × 2)

= 13/16 yards

Suppose 2 yards of fabric is needed for Jimmy's costume, then comparing with Rob's yards, we see that Jimmy's costume requires (2 - 13/16 = 19/16) more yards than Rob's costume.

The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10−24, and the mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10−28. Find the approxim
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

≈ 1833

Step-by-step explanation:

To find ratio of proton mass to electron mass, we have to divide.

The numbers are given in <em>scientific notation</em>.

Let a number be  a*10^b and another be  c*10^d, when we divide, we will follow the rule shown below:

\frac{a*10^b}{c*10^d}=(\frac{a}{c}*10^{b-d})

Now, we use the information given to find the ratio:

\frac{1.67*10^{-24}}{9.11*10^{-28}}\\=(\frac{1.67}{9.11}*10^{-24--28})\\=0.1833*10^4

This means we can find the number by taking 4 decimal places to the right, so that would becomes:

0.1833*10^4=1833

The approximate ratio is 1833 [mass of proton is around 1833 times heavier than mass of electron]
