A, D and E are correct
given ( x - 4 ) is a factor then x = 4 is a root
the remainder on division by (x - 4 ) = 0 as indicated by the 0 on the right side of the quotient
(x - 4 ) is a factor of 3x² - 13x + 4 → A
the number 4is a root of f(x) = 3x² - 13x + 4 → D ( explained above )
thus 3x² - 13x + 4 ÷ (x - 4 ) = 3x - 1 → E
the quotient line 3 - 1 0
3 and - 1 are the coefficients of the linear quotient and 0 is the remainder
Answer:
-5 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
3^(x-1) = 9^(x+2)
Replace 9 with 3^2
3^(x-1) = 3^2^(x+2)
We know that a power to a power means the powers are multiplied
a^b^c = a^(b*c)
3^(x-1) = 3^(2x+2)
When the bases are the same, the powers have to be the same
x-1 = 2x+4
Subtract x from each side
x-x-1 =2x-x+4
-1 =x+4
Subtract 4 from each side
-1-4 =x+4-4
-1-4 = x
-5 =x

<h3>Squaring</h3>
The usual way to solve these algebraically is to isolate radicals and square the equation until the radicals go away. Then solve the resulting polynomial. Here, that results in a quadratic with two solutions. One of those is extraneous, as is often the case when this solution method is used.

The solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the factors zero: x=2 and x=-1. When we check these in the original equation, we find that x=-1 does not work. It is an extraneous solution.
x = -1: √(-1+2) +1 = √(3(-1)+3) ⇒ 1+1 = 0 . . . . not true
x = 2: √(2+2) +1 = √(3(2) +3) ⇒ 2 +1 = 3 . . . . true . . . x = 2 is the solution

<h3>Substitution</h3>
Another way to solve this is using substitution for one of the radicals. We choose ...

Solutions to this equation are ...
u = 2, u = -1 . . . . . . the above restriction on u mean u=-1 is not a solution
The value of x is ...
x = u² -2 = 2² -2
x = 2 . . . . the solution to the equation

<em>Additional comment</em>
Using substitution may be a little more work, as you have to solve for x in terms of the substituted variable. It still requires two squarings: one to find the value of x in terms of u, and another to eliminate the remaining radical. The advantage seems to be that the extraneous solution is made more obvious by the restriction on the value of u.
Answer:
The speed of the wind is 12 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the plane travels 264 miles in 1.1 hours with a headwind, the following calculation must be performed to determine its speed:
264 / 1.1 = X
240 = X
Thus, the speed of the plane into the headwind was 240 miles per hour. Now, on the return, with the wind in favor, the route is completed in exactly 1 hour.
Therefore the wind exerts a difference of 24 miles per hour between one trip and another, with which, if it remains stable, its speed is 12 miles per hour (24 / 2).
