Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. It states that if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a <em>binomial</em> in the form (x - a), then our remainder will be P(a).
We are dividing:
So, a polynomial by a binomial factor.
Our factor is (x + k) or (x - (-k)). Using the form (x - a), our a = -k.
We want our remainder to be 3. So, P(a)=P(-k)=3.
Therefore:
Simplify:
Solve for <em>k</em>. Subtract 3 from both sides:
Factor:
Zero Product Property:
Solve:
So, either of the two expressions:
Will yield 3 as the remainder.
Answer:
3.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Really just divide and then round it to only one number on the right of the decimal(use a calculator)

Answer:
The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee. The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation. A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change. For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost. In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5. So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50. To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'. So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b. or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.
Hi there! To solve this, all we have to do is multiply each side by 2.2 to cancel out the variable and to find the value for it. 5.8 * 2.2 is 12.76. 12.76/2.2 is 5.8. x = 12.76. The answer is D.
