To solve using synthetic division:

Draw an upside down division symbol (I did the best I can given the format). Place the constant of x - 1 (1) on the outside, and the coefficients of x³ - 2x² - 1 on the inside, like so:      

   | x³   x²   x¹   x⁰
1 | 1   -2    0   -1   
   |         
   |___________

Next, bring down the first coefficient.

    | x³   x²   x¹   x⁰
  1| 1   -2    0   -1   
    |         
    |___________ 
      1

Multiply the number on the outside of the symbol (1) by the coefficient you've just brought down (1). Place that number under the next coefficient to the right.

    | x³   x²   x¹   x⁰
  1| 1   -2    0   -1    
    |       1   
    |___________ 
      1

Add the new number (1) to the coefficient above it (-2) and place that number directly underneath it.

    | x³   x²   x¹   x⁰
  1| 1   -2    0   -1    
    |       1   
    |___________ 
      1   -1

Continue this process until you've run out of numbers to multiply.

    | x³   x²   x¹   x⁰
  1| 1   -2    0   -1    
    |       1   -1   -1
    |___________ 
      1   -1   -1   -2

The resulting numbers are coefficients. The first three are part of the quotient, and the last one is part of the remainder. The remainder becomes the last coefficient (-2) over the divisor (x - 1).

Answer:
(x³ - 2x² - 1) / (x - 1) = x² - x - 1 + -2/x - 1

Lena [83]

Answer:

74

Step-by-step explanation:

To receive an award, student must obtain a score at or above the upper quartile, from.tye boxplot, the upper quartile is depicted by the endpoint of the box. Hence, the upper quartile of the distribution is 74. Hence only stude Ts who score 74 and above will receive an award Hence, the minimum score required is 74.

How to find nth term of a sequence in math?
worty [1.4K]
Salutations!

To find the nth term, you will be needing a formula.

a +(n-1) *d

a stands for the first term (first number in the sequence)

d stands for the difference between two terms. (always remember to subtract from the 2nd term to the 1st term)

and the n is what we are going to find

so in your sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20

5 is a (as it is the first term)

d would be 5 ( 10 -5 =5)

a+(n-1)*d

5+ (n-1) *5

5+5n-5

5n+0

your nth term is 5n+0

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
