No next time ask nicely instead of “and answer the question that follow”
Where's the "triangle with alt. BD?" This problem can be solved without the diagram, but the solution would be easier with it.
BD is the altitude. Find the length of BD by finding the dist. between (-1,4) and (2,4); it is 2-(-1), or 3. |BD| = 3.
I've graphed the triangle myself and have found that the "base" of the triangle is the vertical line thru (2,1) and (2,6); its length is 6-1, or 5.
Thus, the area of this triangle is A = (b)(h) / 2, or A = (5)(3) / 2 = 10/3 square inches.
Answer:
x+5 (under assumption you meant to do -3x
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use long division.
Take the leading coefficient x^4 and divide it by x^3. This results in x which is going to be the first part of you quotient. Now take that x and multiply it by the divisor (x^3 - 3). This gives you x(x^3 - 3) = x^4 - 3x. Now subtract that x^4 - 3x from the original polynomial and repeat this until you can't divide anymore
