You can find the remainder right away by simply plugging in
. The polynomial remainder theorem guarantees that the value of
is the remainder upon dividing
by
, but I digress...
Synthetic division yields
3 | 2 -11 18 -15
. | 6 -15 9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
. | 2 -5 3 -6
which translates to
(and note that
, as expected)
You can look for the number 16 on the x-axis. (bottom line) and put a finger there. Then, look for 19 on the y -axis (left line) and put a finger there. Trace your left finger to the right and your right hand up until they meet. That is (16,19)
Hi!
The answer is C. It is a numerical expression because it contains only numbers and operation symbols.
will be increasing on the intervals where
and decreasing wherever
. Local extrema occur when
and the sign of
changes to either side of that point.
is positive when
is between -4 and some number between -2 and -1, and also 2 (exclusive) and 4, so you can estimate that
is increasing on the intervals [-4, -2] and (2, 4].
is negative when
is between some number between -2 and -1, up to some number less than 2. So
is decreasing on the interval [-1, 1].
You then have two possible cases for extrema occurring. The sign of
changes for some
between -2 and -1, and again to either side of
.
