Synthetic division with complex numbers<span> is very similar to regular </span>synthetic division<span>. For example, if you were dividing a polynomial by x + 2, you would </span>use<span>the value of x = 2 in </span>synthetic division<span>.</span>
Sold 2/5 in the morning.....leaving 3/5
he sold 3/4 of 3/5 in the afternoon......3/4 * 3/5 = 9/20
2/5 = 8/20
9/20 - 8/20 = 1/20...so he sold 1/20 more in the afternoon.
so if 1/20 = 24, then 20/20 = 24*20 = 480
so he started with 480 cartons
Length / wingspan
14.8 / 9.8 = 0.5 / x
cross multiply
(14.8)(x) = (9.8)(0.5)
14.8x = 4.9
x = 4.9 / 14.8
x = 0.331 meters....wingspan of model
If it’s just (-4) with nothing in front the answer is -4
