Step-by-step explanation:

Here, f(x) is the given polynomial.

By remainder Theorem,

When divided by (3x-1),

f(1/3) = -3........(1)

When divided by (x+1),

f(-1) = -7.........(2)

<em>Another</em><em> </em><em>polynomial</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>x</em><em>²</em><em>+</em><em>2</em><em>x</em><em>-</em><em>1</em>

Solving,

3x²+2x-1

= 3x²+3x-x-1

=3x(x+1)-(x+1)

=(3x-1)(x+1)

So

f(x) = (3x-1)(x+1)Qx + (ax+b)

For f(-1),

-7 = -a+b

b= a-7

For f(1/3),

-3 = a/3+b

or, -3 = a/3+a-7

or, 4×3 = 4a

or a = 3

Also, b = 3-7 =-4

Hence, remainder is (3x-4)

What is 4 less than the quotient of twice a number and 3 translated to an algebraic expression?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

(2x/3) - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

"twice a number" ---> 2x

"quotient of twice a number and 3" ---> 2x/3

"4 less than" -->  (2x/3) - 4

Could also be written as (2/3)x - 4

If 32 % of a is 1.12 then what is the value of a?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

4.5 is the value of A

Step-by-step explanation:

do it doing part/whole and cross crossing :)

32/100 because it’s a percentage and 1.12/x. 1.12 times 100 to get 112, and then 32 times x = 32x. your equation right now is 32x = 112, bur we want to get rid of that x, so we are going to divide 112/32 to get the whole of 3.5 for the value of A.

Mr. Williams is building a sand box for his children. It costs $228 for the sand if he builds a rectangular-sand box with dimens
Andru [333]

Answer:  The correct option is (C) $342.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mr. Williams is building a sand box for his children and is costs $228 for the sand if he builds a rectangular-sand box with dimensions 9 ft by 6 ft.

We are to find the cost of the sand if he decides to increase the size to 13\frac{1}{2}~\textup{ft by }9~\textup{ft}.

Since the box is empty from inside, so we will be considering the perimeter of the box, not area.

The perimeter of the rectangular-sand box with dimensions 9 ft by 6 ft is

P_1=2(9+6)=30~\textup{ft},

and the perimeter of the rectangular-sand box with dimensions 13\frac{1}{2}~\textup{ft by }9~\textup{ft}. is

P_2=2\left(13\dfrac{1}{2}\times9\right)=2(13.5\times9)=45~\textup{ft}.

Now, we will be using the UNITARY method.

Cost of sand for building rectangular-sand box with perimeter 30ft = $228.

So, cost of  sand for building rectangular-sand box with perimeter 1 ft will be

\$\dfrac{228}{30}.

Therefore, the cost of sand for building rectangular-sand box with perimeter 45 ft is given by

\$\dfrac{228}{30}\times45=\$342.

Thus, the required cost of the sand is $342.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
