Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use synthetic division to answer this. If the remainder is zero, then we can safely assume the divisor (x + 7) is a factor of the polynomial f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8.
We use -7 as the divisor in synth. div. This comes from the factor (x + 7):
-7 / 1 3 2 -8
-7 28 -210
-------------------------
1 -4 30 -218
Here, the remainder is -218, not zero, so no, (x+7) is not a factor of f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up by reversing it.
(9+4)- (x/2)
(13)-(x/2)
(13)-(2x)
=11x
Answer:
67 years old. (you only gave 4 people and missed out one person)
Step-by-step explanation:
take all the ages first and put the unknown (age of the person who entered the room) as x.
14, 16, 16, 13, x
all of these numbers added to together would be:
59 + x
Because the question is talking about the mean age, to find mean:
add all the values in the data (ages) and divide by the total number of values on the list. (in your case would be 6 people (following your question) but you gave only 5 people including the x).
then (59 + x) / 6 = 21
21 x 6 = 126
126 = 59 + x
x = 67
