Just add 3, 1, 4, and 2 which will give you b^10 :)

Are those supposed to be exponents? When multiplying exponents you add them together

b^3 * b^1 * b^4 * b^2
3 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 10

Answer: b^10

A 1st degree polynomial function whose graph intercepts the y-axis at 8.

asambeis [7]

Your answer can be anything in the form y = mx+8 where you replace m with any real number.

You start with y = mx+b, and then replace the b with the y intercept 8.

The y intercept is where the polynomial crosses the y axis.

The value of m does not matter. So you could have y = 2x+8 or y = 3x+8 for instance. Replace m with whatever your favorite number is.

The quotient of (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)/(x^2+5x+6)

Elis [28]

Answer: The quotient is (x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$f(x)=(x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\and\\\\g(x)=x^2+5x+6\\\\So,\ \frac{\left(x^3+3x^2-4x-12\right)}{\left(x^2+5x+6\right)}$

Now, we have to find the quotient of the above expression.

So, here we go:

$Factorise\ (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\=\left(x^3+3x^2\right)+\left(-4x-12\right)\\\\=-4\left(x+3\right)+x^2\left(x+3\right)\\\\=\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)$

Now, we will divide the above simplest form with g(x):

$\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}\\\\=\frac{x^2-4}{x+2}\\\\=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{x+2}\ using\ (a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)\\\\=x-2$
