Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This was originally a third degree polynomial:

2x^3+4x^2-4x+6, to be exact.

When you divide by -3, you are basically trying to determine if x + 3 is a zero of that third degree polynomial.  The quotient is always one degree lesser than the polynomial you started with, and if there is no remainder, then x + 3 is a zero of the polynomial and you could go on to factor the second degree polynoial completely to get all 3 solutions.  To perform the synthetic division, you always first bring down the number in the first position, in our case a 2.  Then multiply that 2 by -3 to get -6.

-3|  2   4   -4   6

          -6

    2    -2

So far this is what we have done.  Now we multiply the -3 by the -2 and put that up under the -4 and add:

-3|  2   4   -4   6

          -6   6

    2    -2   2

Now we multiply the -3 by the 2 to get -6 and put that up under the 6 and add:

-3|   2   4   -4   6

           -6    6  -6

      2    -2   2   0

That last row gives us the depressed polynomial, which as stated earlier here, is one degree less than what you started with:

2x^2-2x+2

Answer: OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to follow these steps:

- Carry the number 2 down and multiply it by the the number -3.

- Place the product obtained above the horizontal line, below the number 4 and add them.

- Put the sum below the horizontal line.

- Multiply this sum by the number -3.

- Place the product obtained above the horizontal line, below the number -4 and add them.

- Put the sum below the horizontal line.

- Multiply this sum by the number -3.

- Place the product obtained above the horizontal line, below the number 6 and add them.

Then:

-3\ |\ 2\ \ \ \ \ 4\ \ -4\ \ \ \ \ \ 6\\\.\ \ \ \ \ |\ \ \ \ -6\ \ \ \ \ 6\ \ \ -6

-----------------

.\ \ \ \ \ \ 2\ \ \ -2\ \ \ \ 2\ \ \ \ \ 0

 Therefore, the quotient in polynomial form is:

2x^2-2x+2

The weight of a nickel is 80% of a quarter. If a nickel weighs 5 grams how much does a quarter weigh?
muminat

Answer:

Weight of a quarter  = 6.25 grams

Weight of a dime  = 2.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of a nickel is  80%

The weight of a quarter  or the weight of a nickel is 5 grams or weight of a quarter =50.8 = 6.25 grams

Weight of a dime = 50% = 12 (weight of nickel) = 52 = 2.5 grams

Please solve completely I really need this answered
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Ted is correct. Maggie made mistakes while trying to isolate x for both equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

For 3x-2=0, in order to move -2 to the left side, Maggie had to add 2 on both sides because -2+2=0. The same problem is seen for x+5=0. Maggie had to subtract 5 on both sides because +5-5=0

Answer:

  • figure the areas of the rectangle and semicircle
  • add them together

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is given by ...

  A = LW

  A = (20 m)(14 m) = 280 m²

__

The area of the semicircle is ...

  A = (1/2)πr²

  A = (1/2)π(7 m)² = 24.5π m² ≈ 77 m²

__

Then the total area is ...

  280 m² +77 m² = 357 m²

_____

The width of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle, which is twice its radius. The area of a semicircle is 1/2 the area of a circle.

Which equation describes the statement shown?
uranmaximum [27]
Y=2x+1
x is the input, so the 2x will make it twice the input, and the +1 will make it one more, therefore y(the output) is one more than twice the input :)
