Answer:

p(x) = (3x^{2} - 8x + 5)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) has degree 3

(x - 4) has degree 1

So p(x) can be rewritten as a polynomial of degree 2 multiplying (x-4)

So

p(x) = (ax^{2} + bx + c)(x - 4)

To find a, b and c, we have to divide p(x) by x - 4.

So

Finding a:

Dividing the first term of p(x) by x - 4.

\frac{3x^{3}}{x - 4} = 3x^{2}

So a = 3.

Now multiplying 3x² by, x - 4, we have:

3x^{2}(x - 4) = 3x^{3} - 12x^{2}

Subtracting p(x) from this:

3x^{3} - 20x^{2} + 37x - 20 - (3x^{3} - 12x^{2}) = 3x^{3} - 20x^{2} + 37x - 20 - 3x^{3} + 12x^{2} = -8x^{2} + 37x - 20

Finding b:

Dividing the first term, after the subtraction, by x - 4.

\frac{-8x^{2}}{x - 4} = -8x

So b = -8.

Multiplying -8x by x - 4, we have:

-8x(x-4) = -8x^{2} + 32x

Then

-8x^{2} + 37x - 20 - (-8x^{2} + 32x) = -8x^{2} + 37x - 20 + 8x^{2} - 32x = 5x - 20

Finding c:

\frac{5x}{x - 4} = 5

So c = 5.

Just to verify if the remainder is 0.

5(x - 4) = 5x - 20

5x - 20 - (5x - 20) = 0

Ok

Then:

p(x) = (ax^{2} + bx + c)(x - 4)

p(x) = (3x^{2} - 8x + 5)(x - 4)

The product of 9 and the quantity 5 more that a number,t, is less that 6
Pepsi [2]

The inequality is 9 ( t + 5 ) < 6.

In mathematics, an inequality is a relation that makes a non-same comparison between two numbers or different mathematical expressions. It is used most often to examine numbers on the quantity line by using their length.

Inequality, In mathematics, is a declaration of an order relationship—greater than, extra than or same too, much less than, or much less than or identical to—between numbers or algebraic expressions.

The definition of inequality is a difference in length, amount, exceptional, social function, or another component. An instance of inequality is if you have ten of something and a person else has none.

Let t be the number.

We know that,

The phrase "5 more than a number t" is equal to adding the number t and 5

(t+5)

The phrase "the product of 9 and the quantity 5 more than a number t" is equal to multiplying 9 by (t+5)

9(t+5)

Less represent the symbol " < ".

Therefore,

The inequality that represents this problem is 9(t+5) < 6.

F(x)=-4x^2+7x+6 how do you work this
Ainat [17]

There actually isn't anything to 'work'.  There's no question there.

The function simply describes the relationship between two numbers.

It says that whatever you pick for the first number, the second number is

    (-4 times the square of the first one) plus (7 times the first one) plus (6) .

Your teacher may have assigned you something to do with the function,
like draw the graph of it, or find its maximum value (2.9375), or find where
it crosses the x-axis (2.381 and -0.63) or the y-axis (6).

But we can't tell what you've been assigned to do with it.  The function alone,
just as you've posted it, isn't asking a question, and doesn't call for any work.
