The x-value of a midpoint is the average of the x-values of the ends.
The y-value of a midpoint is the average of the y-values of the ends.

The x-value of the end at b is 20 and it's 18 at the middle.
x has decreased by 2 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 2 during the other half of the line.
The x-value at the other end, at a, then, is 16.

The y-value of the end at b is 4 and it's -2 at the middle.
y has decreased by 6 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 6 during the other half of the line.
The y-value at the other end, at a, then, is -8.

The other end of the line, at a, is at  (16, -8) .

The sum of the coordinates at a (p+q) is  8  .

What is the constant term of the quotient when 2x^3-3x^2 + 4x-2 is divided by x^2-x+2?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attachment for the polynomial long division. The constant in the quotient is -1.

_____

Here, there is a remainder of -x. If there were no remainder the constant in the quotient is the ratio of the constant in the dividend to the constant in the divisor: -2/2 = -1.

That could be a first guess in a "guess and check" solution approach.

<em>Guess</em>: first term of binomial quotient is (2x^3)/x^2 = 2x; last term of binomial quotient is -2/2 = -1. So, the quotient is guessed to be (2x -1).

<em>Check</em>: (2x -1)(x^2 -x +2) = 2x^3 -3x^2 +5x -2

Subtracting this from the actual dividend gives a remainder of -x. This has a lower degree than the divisor, so no further adjustment of the quotient is required.
