what is remainder theorem ? explain how to use remainder thereom and factor theorem for linear polynomial .

1 answer:

8 0

Basically the Remainder theorem states that the remainder of dividing a polynomial P(x) by (x - a) is given by P(a).

So for example if we divide x^ 2 - 2x + 7 by x - 2 the remainder will be
2^2 - 2(2) + 7 = 7..

If the remainder is 0 then the divisor will be a factor of the polynomial. This is the Factor Theorem and can be used to test if a given polynomial has a factor x-a.

Draw your own rectangle, with an area of 24 square units, on the coordinate plane. Then, identify the vertices of your rectangle

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

First you should remember that the formula for calculating area of a rectangle is;

Area=Length × width

You can decide to have a rectangle with different dimensions provided the area is 24 square unit

For this case, lets choose a rectangle with vertices at (1,0), (7,0),(1,4), (7,4)

After plotting these coordinates, you will notice your rectangle has a length of 6 units and a width of 4 units

A single unit is 1 square unit.When you Count the number of units inside the rectangle formed you realize you have 24 units covered inside

The area of the 24 units will be;

24×1 square unit= 24 square units

Answer: a) 15, b) 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A researcher studying public opinion of proposed social security changes obtains a simple random sample of 35 adult Americans and asks them whether or not they support the proposed changes. To say that the distribution of the sample proportion of adults who respond yes, is approximately normal, how many more Americans does the researcher need to sample in the following cases?

(a) 10% of all adult Americans support the changes

Here, $np>5\ and\ n(1-p)>5$
