Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse variation is

xy = k where k is the constant of variation

8*9 = k

72 = k

xy = k

Let y = 12

x*12 = 72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 =72/12

x = 6

Long Division: (3x^4-8x^3-x^2+9x+5) / (x-2) pleaseee answer this
Drupady [299]

3<em>x</em>⁴ = 3<em>x</em>³ • <em>x</em>, and

3<em>x</em>³ (<em>x</em> - 2) = 3<em>x</em>⁴ - 6<em>x</em>³

Subtract this from the numerator to get a remainder of

(3<em>x</em>⁴ - 8<em>x</em>³ - <em>x</em>² + 9<em>x</em> + 5) - (3<em>x</em>⁴ - 6<em>x</em>³) = -2<em>x</em>³ - <em>x</em>² + 9<em>x</em> + 5

-2<em>x</em>³ = -2<em>x</em>² • <em>x</em>, and

-2<em>x</em>² (<em>x</em> - 2) = -2<em>x</em>³ + 4<em>x</em>²

Subtract this from the previous remainder to get a new remainder of

(-2<em>x</em>³ - <em>x</em>² + 9<em>x</em> + 5) - (-2<em>x</em>³ + 4<em>x</em>²) = -5<em>x</em>² + 9<em>x</em> + 5

-5<em>x</em>² = -5<em>x</em> • <em>x</em>, and

-5<em>x</em> (<em>x</em> - 2) = -5<em>x</em>² + 10<em>x</em>

Subtract this from the last remainder to get a new one of

(-5<em>x</em>² + 9<em>x</em> + 5) - (-5<em>x</em>² + 10<em>x</em>) = -<em>x</em> + 5

-<em>x</em> = -1 • <em>x</em>, and

-1 (<em>x</em> - 2) = -<em>x</em> + 2

This gives a new remainder of

(-<em>x</em> + 5) - (-<em>x</em> + 2) = 3

3 does not divide <em>x</em>, so we're done.

So, we have

(3<em>x</em>⁴ - 8<em>x</em>³ - <em>x</em>² + 9<em>x</em> + 5) / (<em>x</em> - 2) = 3<em>x</em>³ - 2<em>x</em>² - 5<em>x</em> - 1 + 3/(<em>x</em> - 2)
