Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ + cx + 4 divided by x + 2 has a remainder of 4, so:

(x³ + cx + 4) / (x + 2) = ax² + bx + d + 4 / (x + 2)

Multiply both sides by x + 2:

x³ + cx + 4 = (ax² + bx + d) (x + 2) + 4

Distribute:

x³ + cx + 4 = ax²(x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + d(x + 2) + 4

x³ + cx + 4 = ax³ + 2ax² + bx² + 2bx + dx + 2d + 4

x³ + cx + 4 = ax³ + (2a + b)x² + (2b + d)x + 2d + 4

Match the coefficients.

a = 1

2a + b = 0

2b + d = c

2d + 4 = 4

Solving, a = 1, b = -2, and d = 0.  So c = -4.

We can also solve this using long division (see picture).

expeople1 [14]
Let \mathbf u\in\mathbb R^2, where

\mathbf u=(u_1,u_2)

and let k\in\mathbb R be any real constant.

Given this definition of scalar multiplication, we can see right away that there is no identity element e such that

e\mathbf u=\mathbf u

because

e\mathbf u=e(u_1,u_2)=(eu_1,0)\neq(u_1,u_2)=\mathbf u

Two angles are supplementary. Which of the following equations can be used to find the value of the missing angle, x, if the oth
Natali [406]

Two angles are said to be supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees. So, if x and y are supplementary angles, the formula is

x + y = 180

We know that one of the angles (say x) is 98. So, the equation updates to

98 + y = 180

If we want to solve for the other angle, we can simply subtract 98 from both sides to get

y = 180-98 = 82
