The square root of a number is a number that you can square to get it, that is, a number that you can multiply by itself to get the number. So, 2 is a square root of 4, because 2 x 2 = 4, and 3 is a square root of 9, because 3 x 2 = 9.

What is the remainder when a^3-4 is divided by a+2?

Harman [31]

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use synthetic division to find the remainder:

a + 2 yields the synthetic division divisor -2. The four coefficients of a^3 - 4 are {1, 0, 0, -4}. Setting up synthetic division results in:

-2 / 1 0 0 -4

-2 4 -8

-------------------------

1 -2 4 -12

The remainder is -12. This is also the value of a^3 - 4 when a = -2.

Two skateboarders, Ron and Bob, are traveling in opposite directions.Ton travels at 8 feet per second and bob travels at 10 feet

omeli [17]

Time taken before they are 2640 feet is 146.67 seconds

Solution:

The distance is given by formula:

$distance = speed \times time$

Ton travels at 8 feet per second

Let us assume, time taken = t

speed = 8 feet per second

Then, distance is given as:

Distance covered by Ton = 8t

Bob travels at 10 feet per second

Then, distance is given as:

Distance covered by Bob = 10t

How long will it take before they are 2640 feet

Which means,

Distance covered by Ton + Distance covered by Bob = 2640

$8t + 10t = 2640\\\\18t = 2640\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ of\ equation\ by\ 18\\\\t = 146.67$

Thus time taken before they are 2640 feet is 146.67 seconds

<h3>Method 2:</h3>

Since trains are moving in opposite directions, their speeds must be added

speed = 8 + 10 = 18 feet per second

Given distance = 2640 feet

Therefore, time taken is:

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}\\\\time = \frac{2640}{18} = 146.67 \text{ second }$

Thus time taken before they are 2640 feet is 146.67 seconds
