It means -1x - 2 = 3 those bars make all the number positive
Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:
| 2 -7 8 -3
<u>1 | 2 -5 3</u>
| 2 -5 3 0
<u> 1 | 2 -3 </u>
2 -3 0
So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:
Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:
| 1 -1 0 -4
<u>2 | 2 2 </u>
1 2 2 0
So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.
Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:
| 6 7 9 2
<u>-2 | -12 10 -2</u>
6 -5 1 0
So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:
The new width is 16.6666666667 inches, which can be rounded to 16.7.
Width: 5 ?
Height: 6 20
We know that based on the information provided, the new height is 20 inches.
So, in order to solve, you can cross multiply (5 x 20), which would be 100. Then
divide by 6, to get 16.6666666667 or 16.7.
