Answer:
so just successive powers of 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, _? Add successive powers of 2 to the number: 1+2=3; 3+4=7; 7+8=15; 15+16=31; 31+32=63; 63+64=127.
For part A: you will get 3 linear factors (as the degree of the polynomial is 3). perform the division using (x-1) as your known factor and you will get (x-1)(2x²+11x+15). you can then factor the (2x²+11x+15) to get 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 4x - 15 = (x-1)(2x+5)(x+3)
for part B: since 2x+5 will provide the greatest value (assuming x>0) of the 3 factors, then 2x+5=13. solve to get x=4. if x is 4, then the dimensions are 3'x13'x7' [just sub 4 into the x's for each factor]
for part C: as to the graphing calculator, I don't have one. However, if you solve each linear factor for when it is 0, those values will be the x-intercepts. So your graph should cross the x-asix at 1, -5/2, and -3
Answer:
es 1 1/4 + 2/4 +3 2/4 = 5 1/4
5 1/4
