X- the number of pumpkin she had initially
she gave you x/2
x-x/2=x/2
(x/2)/2=x/4(she gave Coral)
x/2-x/4=x/4
x/4=6
x=24
Notice the picture below
so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles
now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"
A, D and E are correct
given ( x - 4 ) is a factor then x = 4 is a root
the remainder on division by (x - 4 ) = 0 as indicated by the 0 on the right side of the quotient
(x - 4 ) is a factor of 3x² - 13x + 4 → A
the number 4is a root of f(x) = 3x² - 13x + 4 → D ( explained above )
thus 3x² - 13x + 4 ÷ (x - 4 ) = 3x - 1 → E
the quotient line 3 - 1 0
3 and - 1 are the coefficients of the linear quotient and 0 is the remainder
