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).

A plane cuts through a cone parallel to its base. what shape is it now.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

When the plane cuts the cone at an angle between a perpendicular to the axis (which would produce a circle) and an angle parallel to the side of the cone (which would produce a parabola), the curve formed is an ellipse.

Last summer there were 88 players at coach rodriguez basketball camp. this year there are 125% of this number of players. how ma
ludmilkaskok [199]
To determine the number of those who joined the basketball camp this year, we just have to multiply the number of those who joined last year by the decimal equivalent of the percentage given. That is,
                                   x = 88(1.25)
                                   x = 110
Therefore, there are a total of 110 players for this years basketball camp.
