Answer:

B

(x-2) is a factor since remainder is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We divide (x-2) into the polynomial -4x^4+6x^3+8x^2-6x-4 through long division or synthetic. We choose long division and look for what will multiply with (x-2) to make the polynomial -4x^4+6x^3+8x^2-6x-4 .

(x-2)(-4x^3)=-4x^4+8x^3

We subtract this from the original -4x^4-(-4x^4)+6x^3-(8x^3)+8x^2-6x-4.

This leaves -2x^3+8x^2-6x-4. We repeat the step above.

(x-2)(-2x^2)=-2x^3+4x^2.

We subtract this from -2x^3-(-2x^3)+8x^2-(4x^2)-6x-4=4x^2-6x-4. We repeat the step above.

(x-2)(4x)=4x^2-8x.

We subtract this from 4x^2-(4x^2)-6x-(-8x)-4=2x-4. We repeat the step above.

(x-2)(2)=2x-4.

We subtract this from 2x-(2x)-4-(4)=0. There is no remainder. This means (x-2) is a factor.

2. 2(x+1.25) = 3.5
dangina [55]

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(x + 1.25) = 3.5 ← divide both sides by 2

x + 1.25 = 1.75 ( subtract 1.25 from both sides )

x = 0.5

Triangle ABD and ADC are righttriangles so u can use the Pythagorean theorem/triples. the triples are 3/4/5 and 5/12/13. 12 is 4x3, and 15 is 5x3, so BD is 3x3, which is 9. AC is 13, as it is part of the Pythagorean’s triples
