Kenny's score on his 72nd game played is 961

Solution:

Given that the first 5 score of Kenny are listed below:

38, 51, 64, 77, 90

Kenny's scores follow a pattern

To find: Kenny's score on his 72nd game played

Let us first find the pattern followed

38, 51, 64, 77, 90

Find the difference between terms

51 - 38 = 13

64 - 51 = 13

77 - 64 = 13

90 - 77 = 13

So the difference between terms is constant

So the sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

The formula for nth term of arithmetic sequence is given as:

$a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d$

$a_n$ = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

$a_1$ = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here d = 13 and $a_1 = 38$

So we get,

$a_n = 38 + (n-1) \times 13$

To find the score of 72nd game, substitute n = 72

$a_{72} = 38 + (72-1) \times 13\\\\a_{72} = 38 + 71 \times 13\\\\a_{72} = 38 + 923\\\\a_{72} = 961$

Thus Kenny's score on his 72nd game played is 961

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the similar triangles is

14 49

---- = ------

2 x

Using cross products

14x = 2*49

14x = 98

Divide by 14

14x/14 = 98/7

x =7

Answer:

The quotient when $x^3-4x^2-8x+8$ is divided by $x+2$ is $x^2-6x+4$ with no remainder, so x+2 is a factor of p(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question suggests, there are two ways to solve this problem: long division (which can always be used to divide polynomials), and synthetic division (which can only be used when you are dividing by something of the form $(x-a)$ . In this case, we may use synthetic division, since $x+2$ is equal to $x-(-2)$ . I will use synthetic division here as it is slightly faster than long division.

The -2 on the left represents that we are dividing by x-(-2), and the rest of the numbers in the top row are the coefficients of p(x): 1, -4, -8, and 8.

The first step in synthetic division is to being down the leading coefficient of the polynomial: in this case, the 1 (as indicated in red). Now, we multiply the 1 by -2. We get -2, which we place directly below the -4.

Next, we add directly down the column, (-4 + (-2) is equal to -6), and this answer is placed in the box below. We can continue this process, getting the coefficients 1, -6, 4, and 0 in the bottom row.

This is the answer: the quotient is $x^2-6x+4$ , and the remainder is zero (which indicates that x+2 is a factor of p(x)).

Edit: long division

We may also solve this problem using long division (see the second image). The first step is to look at the leading coefficients: since $x \times x^2$ is equal to $x^3$ , the first term in the quotient will be $x^2$ . Since $x^2 \times (x+2)$ is equal to $x^3+2x^2$ , we must now subtract that from $x^3-4x^2-8x+8$ .

We repeat the same process, as shown in the image. Since we eventually get to zero, the remainder is zero, and the polynomial at the top (x^2-6x+4) is the quotient.

I know this might be difficult to follow, so please comment if you have any questions.
