You're being asked to divide 6x^3 - 19x^2 + 16x - 4 by x - 2.
Try using synthetic division, if you know it:
_______________
2 / 6 -19 16 -4
12 -14 4
--------------------------
6 -7 2 0
6, -7 and 2 are the coefficients of the quotient. The quotient (answer to this question) is
6x^2 - 7x + 2
Check the picture below. so, that'd be the triangle's sides hmmm so let's use Heron's Area formula for it.

Answer: A.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this, you must first understand what fractional exponents mean.
An exponent of 1 is simply the base itself. 7^1 = 7.
An exponent of 2 is squaring the base: 7^2 = 49.
An exponent of 1/2 is taking the square root of the base: 7^(1/2) = sq root of 7
Therefore, an exponent of 1/3 is taking the cube root of the base.
In this case, the base is 2.03 * t.
Therefore, this can be represented as the cube root of the product of 2.03 and the age of the mammal, so the answer is A.
