You may perform the division using either long division or synthetic division. Any preference?
I used synthetic div. with -2 as the divisor:
________________
-2 / 3 4 -10 0 15
-6 4 12 -24
-------------------------
3 -2 -6 12 -9
In factored form, with remainder, we then have:
(x+2)(3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x + 12) remainder -9
If you need clarification of any part of this solution, let me know.
1. Mercury/3 miles, Mars/4 miles, Venus/8 miles, Earth/8 miles, Neptune/31 miles, Uranus/32 miles, Saturn/75 miles, Jupiter/89 miles
2. ??
3. Saturn (74,897 miles) has a diameter closest to 10 times the diameter of Venus (7,521 miles)
4. Earth (7,926 miles)
5. about 1,473 miles
The last two easy transformations involve flipping functions upside down (flipping them around the x-axis), and mirroring them in the y-axis.
The first, flipping upside down, is found by taking the negative of the original function; that is, the rule for this transformation is –f (x).
