Answer:

x = 2 \: or \: x =  - 2 \: or \: x =  -  \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial equation is

2 {x}^{3}  +  {x}^{2}  - 8x - 4 = 0

We perform the synthetic division as shown in the attachment by dividing by x-2.

This gives a remainder of 0 and a quotient of

2 {x}^{2}  + 5x + 2

This means the polynomial equation becomes:

(x - 2)(2 {x}^{2}  + 5x + 2) = 0

We factor the quadratic term by splitting the middle term;

(x - 2)(2 {x}^{2}  + 4x +x +  2) = 0

(x - 2)(2 x(x+ 2) +1(x +  2) )= 0

Collect common factors again:

(x - 2)((x+ 2)(2x +  1) = 0

The solution is:

x = 2 \: or \: x =  - 2 \: or \: x =  -  \frac{1}{2}

please help :) Which sentence is true? A. 9.46 times 10 to the 12 power > 4.0 times 10 to the 13 power B. 9.46 times 10 to th
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is simple because they use powers of 10. When something is multiplied by a power of ten, it is essentially moving the decimal point over for every power.

9.46x10^12= 9460000000000

4.0x10^13= 40000000000000

Although 4 itself is less than 9.46, since is is being multiplied by 10^13, it will be one decimal place bigger.
