Answer:

The answer is no because (1)^{100}+4(1)^{99}+3 \neq 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x-1) is a factor of x^{100}+4x^{99}+3, then (1)^{100}+4(1)^{99}+3 \text{ will be } 0.

Let's check.

(1)^{100}+4(1)^{99}+3

1+4(1)+3

1+4+3

5+3

8

Since 8 \neq 0, then (x-1) is not a factor of x^{100}+4x^{99}+3.

======================================================

So anyways more on how this works:

If \frac{P(x)}{x-c}=Q(x)+\frac{R}{x-c} where R is the remainder and Q(x) is the quotient of the division, then multiplying both sides by (x-c) gives P(x)=Q(x)(x-c)+R.

We see that x-c is a factor if the remainder is 0. (Just like we know 2 is a factor of 6 because when we divide 6 by 2 we get a remainder of 0.)

Anyways if we evaluate P(x) for x=c we get:

P(c)=Q(x)(c-c)+R

P(c)=Q(x)(0)+R

P(c)=R

So evaluating P for x=c will tell us the remainder of the quotient \frac{P(x)}{x-c} without actually performing division.

The remainder will tell us if x-c is a factor of P

If the remainder is 0, then the answer is yes.

If the remainder is not 0, then the answer is no.

(The question to be answer "Is this a factor of this?")

If f(x) = -2x - 3, find f(0) - 7. <br><br><br>help please!! I will give brainliest!!!!
VikaD [51]

Hi there!

\huge\boxed{-10}

f(x) = -2x - 3

Plug in 0 for "x" to solve for f(0):

f(0) = -2(0) - 3

f(0) = -3

Since the question is asking you to evaluate f(0) - 7, simply subtract:

-3 - 7 = -10.

1.Disc method.
In this method the volume is given by:

\boxed{V=\pi\int\limits_a^b\big[f(x)\big]^2}

so:

V=\pi\int\limits_1^3x^4\,dx=\boxed{\pi\int\limits_1^3\big[x^2\big]^2\,dx}

A) Function f(x)=x^2 over the interval [1,3]
B) We use disk method and f(x) is function of variable x, so we <span>rotate the curve about the x-<span>axis.


2. Shell method.

In this case volume is given by:

</span></span>\boxed{V=2\pi\int\limits_a^bx\cdot f(x)\,dx}

So there will be:

V=\pi\int\limits_1^3x^4\,dx=\dfrac{2}{2}\cdot\pi\int\limits_1^3x^4\,dx=2\pi\int\limits_1^3\dfrac{x^4}{2}\,dx=&#10;\boxed{2\pi\int\limits_1^3x\cdot\dfrac{x^3}{2}\,dx}

A) Function f(x)=\dfrac{x^3}{2} over the interval [1,3]
B) We use shell method and f(x) is function of variable x, so we <span>rotate the curve about the y-<span>axis.</span></span>
