Steps:
Use the divisor and find x :
x - 1 = 0 **add 1
x= 1
Now we will use the 1 in dividing:
take the coefficients from in front of all terms
** make sure you include 0's for x^2 and x since you have to have all terms
set it up with a 1 in a box:
1| 1 0 0 1 **bring the first number down
____________
1 **multiply the boxed number by the first number and add it to the second number
1| 1 0 0 1
____+1_____ **repeat with the rest of the terms
1 1
1| 1 0 0 1
___+1_+1_+1
1 1 1 2
**when you're done, use the new numbers to write an equation starting with a term with a degree one less than the previous equation.
**since there is a remainder, rewrite it divided by the original divisor
final answer:
x^2 + x + 1 + (2/ x -1)
Answer:
Yes, the student is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Does it represent the x intercept
At the x intercept, the value of x is 0.
So, the function 
becomes 
can be compared to
Hence, the student is correct
Answer:
if the line keeps going and theynever touch
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. y = 1.5m + 7
B. at 7 months the baby will weigh 17.5 pounds
C. Since the baby is born weighing 7 pounds, at 0 months he will weigh 7 pounds. This tells us that the y-intercept will be seven. And since the baby is gaining 1.5 pounds every month, this means that the slope will be 1.5 and m will be the x of our y = mx + b equation. For part B, we simply plug in 7 to m and solve by multiplying 1.5 and 7 to get 10.5, then adding 7 to get 17.5.
