Because It Can Be Simplified Many Ways
Yes because
Kate: 3X2 = 6
Jake: 3X2 = 6
Emily: 3X2 = 6
add all of those together and you get 18
Answer: 691
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
There are 3 different ways to find the remainder. I am not sure which method you are supposed to use, so I will solve using all 3 methods.
Long Division:
<u> 10x³ + 24x² + 77x + 230 </u>
x - 3 ) 10x⁴ - 6x³ + 5x² - x + 1
- <u>(10x⁴ - 30x³) </u> ↓ ↓ ↓
24x³ + 5x² ↓ ↓
- <u>(24x³ - 72x²) </u> ↓ ↓
77x² - x ↓
- <u>(77x² - 231x) </u> ↓
230x + 1
- <u>(230x - 690)</u>
691 ← remainder
Synthetic Division:
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
3 | 10 -6 5 -1 1
|<u> ↓ 30 72 231 690</u>
10 24 77 230 691 ← remainder
Remainder Theorem:
f(x) = 10x⁴ - 6x³ + 5x² - x + 1
f(3) = 10(3)⁴ - 6(3)³ + 5(3)² - (3) + 1
= 810 - 162 + 45 - 3 + 1
= 691
The answer is <span>A. For every mile the car is driven, the cost increases by $0.25.</span>
