<h3>Answer: Remainder = 3</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The remainder theorem says that if we divide some polynomial p(x) over (x-k), then p(k) is the remainder.

The expression x+1 is the same as x-(-1). Comparing this to x-k shows k = -1.

So we'll need to evaluate p(-1)

To do so visually, draw a vertical line through -1 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the blue curve at some point, which I'll call point A.

From point A, draw a horizontal line to the y axis. You should reach y = 3.

This is all shown in the diagram below.

In other words, the point (-1,3) is on the blue curve, and p(-1) = 3.

So the remainder is 3.

Slope of (-7,-2) (9,4)

Olenka [21]

Answer:

m= $\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the slope equation to solve the problem

$\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

2. Plug in your values into the equation.

$\frac{4-(-2)}{9-(-7)}$

3. Simplify the equation.

m= $\frac{3}{8}$

What ordered pair is closest to a local minimum of the function, f(x)? (–1, –3) (0, –2) (1, 4) (2, 1)

krek1111 [17]

The answer is: $(2,1)$

By definition, a point is a local minimum if it has the smallest <em>y</em> coordinate in that interval and the graph goes from decreasing to increasing.

Based on this information, you can graph the points given in the problem above, as you can see in the figure attached. Then, you can notice that the ordered pair that is closest to a local minimum of the function is the last option shown in the problem.
