Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line passes through points (−3, 2) and (2, 1).

We use the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ to find the slope of this line.

$\implies \frac{1-2}{2--3}=\frac{-1}{5}$

We use the point slope formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y-2=-\frac{1}{5}(x--3)$

$y-2=-\frac{1}{5}(x+3)$

We expand to get:

$y-2=-\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{3}{5}$

$y=-\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{3}{5}+2$

The slope intercept form of the line is:

$y=-\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}$

Synthetic division And the Remainder theorem

stealth61 [152]

The remainder theorem says that if $x-c$ is a factor of a polynomial $p(x)$ , then the remainder upon dividing $\dfrac{p(x)}{x-c}$ is 0 so that there exists a lower degree polynomial $q(x)$ as the quotient:

$\dfrac{p(x)}{x-c}=q(x)$

Using the fact that $x-2$ is a factor, you can find a quadratic $q(x)$ which is easy to factorize further.

Synthetic division yields

$q(x)=4x^2+4x-8$

which can be factored further as

$4(x^2+x-2)=4(x+2)(x-1)$

So,

$f(x)=4x^3-4x^2-16x+16=4(x-2)(x+2)(x-1)$

The roots are then $x=-2,1,2$ .

Simplify the expression 5+6i/4+6i<br> A) 56-6i/-20<br> B) -16-6i/-20<br> C)56-6i/52<br> D) -16-6i/52

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

$The\ simplified\ form\ of\ the\ \frac{5 + 6i}{4 + 6i}\ is\ \frac{56-6i}{52}.$

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As the expression given in the question as follows.

$= \frac{5 + 6i}{4 + 6i}$

Now rationalize the expression.

$= \frac{5 + 6i\times 4 - 6i}{4 + 6i\times 4 - 6i}$

Using the formula

a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)

Using in the above

$= \frac{5 + 6i\times 4 - 6i}{(4)^{2} - (6i)^{2}}$

$= \frac{5\times 4-5\times 6i+6i\times 4-36\ i^{2}}{16 - 36(i)^{2}}$

As i² = -1

$= \frac{20-30i+24i+36}{16 + 36}$

$= \frac{56-6i}{52}$

$Therefore\ the\ simplified\ form\ of\ the\ \frac{5 + 6i}{4 + 6i}\ is\ \frac{56-6i}{52}.$

Option (C) is correct .
