Answer:

x^3+2x^2-5x-6=\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find \frac{x^{3} + 2 x^{2} - 5 x - 6}{x + 1} using synthetic division you must:

Write the problem in a division-like format. To do this:

Take the constant term of the divisor with the opposite sign and write it to the left.

Write the coefficients of the dividend to the right.

\begin{array}{c|cccc}&x^{3}&x^{2}&x^{1}&x^{0}\\-1&1&2&-5&-6\\&&\\\hline&\end{array}

Step 1: Write down the first coefficient without changes:

\begin{array}{c|rrrr}-1&1&2&-5&-6\\&&\\\hline&\1\end{array}

Step 2:

Multiply the entry in the left part of the table by the last entry in the result row.

Add the obtained result to the next coefficient of the dividend, and write down the sum.

\begin{array}{c|rrrr}-1&1&2&-5&-6\\&&\left(-1\right) \cdot 1=-1\\\hline&{1}&{2}+\left({-1}\right)={1}\end{array}

Step 3:

Multiply the entry in the left part of the table by the last entry in the result row.

Add the obtained result to the next coefficient of the dividend, and write down the sum.

\begin{array}{c|rrrr}{-1}&1&2&{-5}&-6\\&&-1&\left({-1}\right) \cdot {1}={-1}\\\hline&1&{1}&\left({-5}\right)+\left({-1}\right)={-6}\end{array}

Step 4:

Multiply the entry in the left part of the table by the last entry in the result row.

Add the obtained result to the next coefficient of the dividend, and write down the sum.

\begin{array}{c|rrrr}{-1}&1&2&-5&{-6}\\&&-1&-1&\left({-1}\right) \cdot \left({-6}\right)={6}\\\hline&1&1&{-6}&\left({-6}\right)+{6}={0}\end{array}

We have completed the table and have obtained the following resulting coefficients: 1, 1, −6, 0.

All the coefficients except the last one are the coefficients of the quotient, the last coefficient is the remainder.

Thus, the quotient is x^{2}+x-6, and the remainder is 0.

\frac{x^{3} + 2 x^{2} - 5 x - 6}{x + 1}=x^{2} + x - 6+\frac{0}{x + 1}=x^{2} + x - 6

Now, we factor x^{2}+x-6

\left(x^2-2x\right)+\left(3x-6\right)\\x\left(x-2\right)+3\left(x-2\right)\\\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)

Therefore,

x^3+2x^2-5x-6=\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)

En una pension de perros hay tres perros que pesan 20kg 10kg y otro 5kg si se contempla que 70kg de alimento dura 2 meses¿que ca
aleksley [76]

Answer:

40kg

20kg

10kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the food each one is getting as follows

Total weights of all dogs

= 20 kg + 10 kg + 5kg

= 35 kg

And, the food is 70 kg

So, each one is getting

for 20 kg

= 70 ÷ 35 × 20

= 40 kg

For 10 kg

= 70 ÷ 35 × 10

= 20 kg

And, for 5 kg

= 70 ÷ 35 × 5

= 10 kg
