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}

Two trains leave stations 560 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 90 miles per hour
lana [24]

Answer: the two trains will meet in 2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Speed of train A  = 90mph

Speed of train B = 110 mph

Since both trains  are travelling towards each other , their effective speed will be= 90 mph + 110mph= 200mph

Step 2

we know that Speed = distance / time

therefore Time = Distance / speed

Distance = 560 miles

Speed = 200 mph

Time = 560miles / 200mph

2.8 hours
