I don't like dividing polynomials so I'm going to set x=1 and try them out.
(1-2-14+3)/4 = -3
Of the choices, only D gives -3 when x=1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's as much test-taking as math. If we were to divide
x^2 - 5x + 1
-------------------------------
x + 3 | x^3 - 2x^2 - 14x + 3
x^3 + 3x^2
-5x^2 - 14x
5x^2 + 15x
x + 3
x + 3
More work, still choice D
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
I’m rusty with my math, so I’m not 100% sure this is correct. My best attempt.
(1,-5) & (3,-17)
1=1x, -5=1y, 3=2x, -17=2y
Formula is y2-y1/x2-x1
-17 - -5 = -12
3 - 1 =2
So -12/2 = -6
Formula for the line is
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
In this equation m=-6
Y - -5 = -6 ( x - 1 )
Answer:
<h2>D. 3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark points in the coordinate system.
Lead a line through these points.
Read x-intercept.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
-4.2, -4 1/2, -4.7, -5 1/4, -5.5
