Is the given linear expression a factor of the polynomial?

1 answer:

4 0

2x³ + x² - 5x + 2

(2x³ + 3x - 2)(x - 1)

(2x³ + 4x - x - 2)(x - 1)

(2x(x + 2) - (x + 2))(x - 1)

(x + 2)(2x - 1)(x - 1)

so x + 2 is not a factor of the polynomial!

hope this helped, God bless!

What is the average rate of change for the table and graph below over the interval [0,3]?

Leokris [45]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is the slope using the points (0, 10) and (3, 4). The slope is found using the formula $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

$\frac{4-10}{3-0}= \frac{-6}{3}=-2$

Convert the fraction 7 24 into a repeating decimal.

goldenfox [79]

$\dfrac7{24}=\dfrac6{24}+\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac14+\dfrac1{24}$

$\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac1{8\time3}=\dfrac a8+\dfrac b3=\dfrac{3a+8b}{24}$
$\implies3a+8b=1$

We can choose $a=-1$ and $b=\dfrac12$ , so that

$\dfrac1{24}=-\dfrac18+\dfrac16$

Recalling that $\dfrac13=0.333\ldots$ , it follows that $\dfrac16=0.166\ldots$ . So,

$\dfrac1{24}=0.125+0.166\ldots=0.04166\ldots$
$\implies\dfrac7{24}=0.25+0.4166\ldots=0.29166\ldots$
