V125BC [204]3 years ago

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?")

Sesame Company purchased a computer system for $74,000 on January 1, 2018. It was depreciated based on a 7-year life and an $18,
amm1812

Answer: $24000

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation for 2018 = ($74,000 - $18000) / 7

= $56000/7

= $8000

Depreciation for 2019 = ($74,000 - $18000) / 7

= $56000/7

= $8000

Depreciation up to 2019 = $8000 + $8000 = $16000

Book value at end of 2019 = $74000 - $16000 = $58000

Revised residual value = $10,000

Number of remaining years = 4-2 = 2 years

Depreciation expensed for 2020 will be:

= ($58000 - $10,000) / 2

= $48000/2

= $24000

Which statement describes the solutions of the equation? 4x/3x+1 = x/2x+10
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<h3> The equation has one valid solution and no extraneous of solutions.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

4x/3x+1 = x/2x+10

We are to get the nature of the value of x

Cross multiply;

x(3x+1) = 4x(2x+10)

3x²+x = 8x²+40x

Collect like terms;

3x²-8x² + x - 40x = 0

-5x²+x -40x = 0

-5x²-39x = 0

-5x² = 39x

-5x = 39

x = -39/5

<em>Since we have just one value of x hence, the equation has one valid solution and no extraneous of solutions.</em>

<em></em>

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 76 inches and 1 side measures 14 inches of it can be determined what are the lengths in inch
nydimaria [60]

The dimension of the parallelogram ABCD will be 14 inches, 48 inches, 14 inches and 48 inches.

<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A parallelogram's opposite sides are parallel and equal.

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 76 inches.0

And one side measure is 14 inches.

Then the rest of the sides will be

We know that opposite sides are prallel and equal.

Let ABCD is a parallelogram.

AB = CD = 14 inches

BC = AD = x

Then the value of x will be

We know

 P = 2(AB + BC)

76 = 2(14 + x)

 x = 48
