Answer:

  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attachment for the polynomial long division. The constant in the quotient is -1.

_____

Here, there is a remainder of -x. If there were no remainder the constant in the quotient is the ratio of the constant in the dividend to the constant in the divisor: -2/2 = -1.

That could be a first guess in a "guess and check" solution approach.

<em>Guess</em>: first term of binomial quotient is (2x^3)/x^2 = 2x; last term of binomial quotient is -2/2 = -1. So, the quotient is guessed to be (2x -1).

<em>Check</em>: (2x -1)(x^2 -x +2) = 2x^3 -3x^2 +5x -2

Subtracting this from the actual dividend gives a remainder of -x. This has a lower degree than the divisor, so no further adjustment of the quotient is required.

Ray is buying some ginger roots to brew some fresh ginger ale. The price of the ginger root is g, and Ray has a coupon for 10% o
kondaur [170]

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparision: Let say you buy chocolate that cost $1. And there was luckily a coupon, for 10% off.

That means after applying the coupon, you will only pay 90% of the original price. Which is

0.9(1) = 0.9

which equals 90 cents.

So let go back to this problem and apply similar thinking.

The price of the original root is g, so for the original price column, check the 3rd cell, g.

Use our comparision problem, by applying the coupon to the chocolate, you will save

1 - 0.9 = 0.1

which is 1/10 of the original price.

In this equation, we can represent this as 0.1g.

So for the second column, shade in 5th cell, 0.1g.

The price would be

(0.9)1 = 0.9

So our equation for this equation will be

0.9g.

So for third column, shade in 1st cell, 0.9g.

Paul [167]
A. You may set the variables in either order. But for argument sake, let's set as follows:

x = Amount of bookshelves
y = Amount of tables

B. Because of the amount of things you need to make, the following is an inequality using those variables.

x + y > 25

Plus you can determine a second inequality based on the amount of money that you have to spend. 

20x + 45y < 675

Finally you may also add in that each value must be greater than or equal to zero, since they cannot have negative tables. 

C. By solving the system and looking at basic constraints when graphed, you can see the feasible region has 4 vertices. 

(0,0)
(18, 7)
(0, 15)
(33.75, 0) or (33, 0) if you insist on rounding.
