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

What is true of the coefficient of​ variation?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A. The coefficient of variation is best used when comparing two data sets that use the same units of measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of variation (CV), is simply the standard deviation (itself a measure of variance or variation) relative to the mean of a distribution.

The coefficient of variation expresses a random variable’s variability in percentage terms. Therefore it is possible, through the coefficient of variation, to compare the variability of data across different samples, especially if the random variables are recorded in different units of measurement (such as cm, kg and minutes).

A coefficient of variation is always interpreted as a percentage. <u>Mathematical representation is:</u>

Coefficient\ of\ variation\ = \frac{Standard\ deviation}{Mean}\ \%

The coefficient of variation is best used when comparing two data sets that use the same units of measure.

Hence, the option (A) is the correct option.

The given series has six terms. what is the sum of the terms of the series? 17 + 25 + 33 + . . . + 57
nikdorinn [45]
Sum of the terms of the series is

Sn = n/2 ( a1+an )

we have n= 6 , a1= 17, an = 57
so Sn = 6/2 ( 17+57) = 3(74) = 222
