The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

x³+x²+x+1.

Explanation:

First we write the polynomial out with all of the other powers of x, using 0 as their coefficients:

(1x⁴+0x³+0x²+0x-1)÷(x-1)

To perform synthetic division, we write the coefficients of the dividend in a row:

1 0 0 0 1

We take the 1 from x-1 and use it in the box. We then drop the first 1 from the row of coefficients down.

We multiply our 1 in the box by the 1 at the bottom; this is 1 and goes under the first 0 to the right of the 1 in the coefficients row. We now add this 0+1; this is 1 and goes at the bottom beside the other 1.

Multiply this by 1; this is 1 and goes under the second 0 from the left in the row of coefficients. Add this to the 0; this is 1 and goes at the bottom, to the right of the other two 1's.

Multiply this by 1; this is 1 and goes under the third and last 0 in the row of coefficients. Add this to the 0; this is 1 and goes at the bottom, to the right of the other three 1's.

Multiply this by 1; this is 1 and goes under the -1 in the row of coefficients. Add this to the -1; this is 0 and goes at the bottom, to the right of the four 1's. This 0 means there is no remainder and the quotient was evenly divided. It gives us

1 1 1 1 0

This means we have 1x³+1x²+1x+1 with no remainder.

Answer:

The quotient is 1x^3+1x^2+1x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (x^4-1). we have to divide this expression by (x-10 by using synthetic division.

Steps in synthetic division

Step 1: Write the coefficients of x in descending order in the dividend inside the division table.

Step 2: Drop down the first coefficient of the dividend below the division symbol.

Step 3: Multiply the drop-down by the divisor, and write the answer diagonally in the next columns.

Step 4: Add down the column.

Step 5:  Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until the last column.

Now, as shown in synthetic division table, the quotient is

1x^3+1x^2+1x+1 and remainder is 0

Which of the slope is an equation of a line whose slope is 0?
Alika [10]

Answer:

1) y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y=mx+b is called slope-intercept because it tells us the slope,m, and y-intercept ,b.

The equation y=a is a horizontal line and goes through a on the y-axis.  Horizontal lines have a slope of zero.

The equation x=b is a vertical line and goes through b on the x-axis.

Vertical lines have an undefined slope.

1) y=6 is horizontal so it's slope is 0

2) x=6 is vertical so it's slope is undefined

3) y=2x has slope 2

4) x+y=1 can be put into the form y=mx+b to determine the slope.

Subtract x on both sides:

       y=-x+1

The slope is -1.

The answer is 48 I just don’t know how to get there. Please solve using proportions and show me
OleMash [197]

Answer:

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

What number out of 75 gives you 64%

What number out of 75 gives you 64 out of 100

x                    64

------------ = -----------

75                 100

Using cross product

100x = 64*75

100x =4800

Divide each side by 100

100x/100 = 4800/100

x=48

Solve for the value of x by applying the definitions of complementary and supplementary angles
Tatiana [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

The square corner symbol indicates the sum of the marked angles is 90°. (They are complementary.)

  (x +3)° +35° = 90°

  x° = 90° -38° = 52°

  x = 52
