Answer:

The quotient of this division is (4x^2 -12x + 38). The remainder here would be -26.

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator 4x^3 + 2x + 7 is a polynomial about x with degree 3.

The divisor x + 3 is a polynomial, also about x, but with degree 1.

By the division algorithm, the quotient should be of degree 3 - 1 = 2, while the remainder shall be of degree 1 - 1 = 0 (i.e., the remainder would be a constant.) Let the quotient be a\,x^2 + b\, x + c with coefficients a, b, and c.

4x^3 + 2x + 7 = \left(a\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3).

Start by finding the first coefficient of the quotient.

The degree-three term on the left-hand side is 4 x^3. On the right-hand side, that would be a\, x^3. Hence a = 4.

Now, given that a = 4, rewrite the right-hand side:

\begin{aligned}&\left(4\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(4x^2 + (b\, x + c)\right)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^2(x + 3) + (bx + c)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}.

Hence:

4x^3 + 2x + 7 = 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (b\,x + c)(x + 3)

Subtract \left(4x^3 + 12x^2\right from both sides of the equation:

-12x^2 + 2x + 7 = (b\,x + c)(x + 3).

The term with a degree of two on the left-hand side has coefficient (-12). Since the only term on the right hand side with degree two would have coefficient b, b = -12.

Again, rewrite the right-hand side:

\begin{aligned}&\left(-12 x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(-12 x+ c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& (-12x)(x + 3) + c(x + 3) \cr =& -12x^2 -36x + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}.

Subtract -12x^2 -36x from both sides of the equation:

38x + 7 = c(x + 3).

By the same logic, c = 38.

Hence the quotient would be (4x^2 - 12x + 38).

If the sum of three consecutive numbers is 36. Find the numbers.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

11, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the first number

(x + 1) is the second number

(x + 2) is the third number

x + x+1 + x+2 = 36

3x + 3 = 36

3x = 36 - 3

3x = 33

x = 11  ← the first number

the second number  = x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12

the third number = x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13

Find the LCM of k^2 + 3k + 2 and 2k^2 + 14k + 20.
Airida [17]

Answer:

  C.  2(k +2)(k +5)(k +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM will be the product of unique factors.

  (k^2 + 3k + 2)=(k+1)(k+2)\\(2k^2 + 14k + 20)=2(k+2)(k+5)

The unique factors are 2, (k+1), (k+2), (k+5), so the LCM is their product:

  2(k+1)(k+2)(k+5) . . . . matches choice C
