1. Set up the equation. On a piece of paper, write the dividend (number being divided) on the right, under the division symbol, and the divisor (number doing the division) to the left on the outside.
2. Divide the first digit.
3. Divide the first two digits.
4. Enter the first digit of the quotient.

The extensions of the legs AB and CD of a trapezoid ABCD intersect at point E. Find the lengths of the sides of △AED if AB=5cm,

Lynna [10]

Answer:

AE = 15 cm; ED = 18 cm; AD = 15 cm (given)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔBEC ~ ΔAED so ...

AD/BC = AE/BE = (BE+AB)/BE = 1 + AB/BE

Substituting given numbers (lengths in centimeters), we have ...

15/10 = 1 + 5/BE

1/2 = 5/BE

BE = 10

Similarly, ...

1/2 = 6/CE

CE = 12

Then the unknown sides are ...

AE = AB + BE = 5 + 10 = 15 . . . cm

ED = CE + CD = 12 + 6 = 18 . . . cm

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x − 4) is a factor, what else must be true?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$f(4)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder Theorem states that when you divide a polynomial $f(x)$ by a linear factor $(x-a)$ , where $a$ is a constant, the remainder is $f(x)$ evaluated at $x=a$

Moreover, according to the Factor Theorem, an extension of the Remainder Theorem, if the remainder of the function $f(x)$ is 0 when evaluated at $x=a$ , then $(x-a)$ is said to be a factor of the polynomial $f(x)$

Given the 2 theorems above, it follows that if $(x-4)$ is a factor of $f(x)$ , then the remainder is equal to 0 when $f(x)$ is evaluated at $x=4$
