Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the box = x³ +11x² + 20x – 32 I think the ' is a typo for ³
the width is x-1 and the height is x+8
Find an expression for the length
Vol = LWH solve L
Vol / (WH) = L so
L = (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)
so it would help to factor the numerator
(x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) I'm willing to bet (x-1) and (x+8) are factors
but I will plot the equation to find the three roots
(x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) = (x-1) (x+8) (x+4)
L = (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)
= (x-1) (x+8) (x+4) / (x-1) (x+8) the (x-1) and (x+8) cancel out leaving
L = (x + 4)
Answer:
Sally would have 8 diamonds left
Question is: how many 84s will fit in 5376? Let's think about some easy multiples:
84 * 100 = 8400, so it's too big
84 * 10 = 840, so it might work
84 | 5376 | 10
-840
84 | 4536 | 10
-840
84 | 3696 | 10
-840
84 | 2856 | 10
-840
84 | 2016 | 10
-840
84 | 1176 | 10
-840
84 | 336
We can't fit any more 840 in 336, so we check how many 84s are in 336 and what's the remainder:
84 | 336 | 4
- 336
So there's no remainder. Now we add all the partial quotients to get the final result:
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 4 = <u>64
</u>It's correct, I checked it with calculator. I just hope you'll be able to read something from that, it's quite difficult to do partial dividing with no pencil and paper :)
