Been a while since I've done synthetic division.

1a. Let's assume that's supposed to be an equals sign

p(x) = 2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6

possible rational roots have factors of 6 in the numerator and of 2 in the denominator.  We'll only worry about negative numerators.

Factors of six: 1,2,3,6, and we don't forget -1,-2,-3,-6

Factors of 2: 1,2

Possible rational roots:

(dividing by 1:) 1,-1,2,-2,3,-3,6,-6

(dividing by 2:) 1/2, -1/2  (2/2=1 is a duplicate, don't have to repeat it), 3/2, -3/2

Possible rational roots: 1,-1,2,-2,3,-3,6,-6, 1/2, -1/2, 3/2, -3/2

Synthetic division, trying x=1,

   1 | 2  -3  -6  5  6

             2  -1  -7  -2

       2    -1  -7  -2  4

Got a remainder of 4, so 1 isn't a root;

Trying x=-1  

-1 | 2  -3  -6  5  6

         -2   5  1  -6

     2  -5  -1  6  0

Zero remainder, found a root, x=-1.  This division says

(2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6) / (x + 1) = 2x³ - 5x² - x + 6

Same set of rational roots on the cubic, we continue with x=2

2 | 2 -5 -1 6

         4 -2 -6

    2  -1 -3 0

Another zero remainder, x=2 is a root.  We're left with 2x² - x - 3 = 0, which factors as

(2x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

That's a second factor of x+1.  Our final factorization is

2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 1)²(x-2)(2x - 3)

Fourth degree with a positive leading coefficient so goes to +infinity at both ends.  Double zero at x=-1, so it's tangent there, just touching the x axis, then down through x=3/2 and up through x=2.  

I'll leave the actually sketching and the other two polynomials to you -- that took some time.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2 b*h

A = 1/2 (5*7)

We can use the commutative property of multiplication which states

a*b = b*a

A = 1/2 (7*5)

This will not affect the answer because 5*7 = 7*5

May you help me please I am stressed and struggling
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The answer would be 2x+4+3x+4, 5x+8, and 2(2x+4) +x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Simplify 2x+4+3x+4 into 5x (combine the x's) +8 (combine the 2 4's)
Step 2. Simplify 2(2x+4)= x into 4x + 8 + x (<-- distribute the 2 to the 2x and 4) and 4x+x would equal 5x meaning 5x + 8.
I hope that this helps! :)

Whats the first operation needed to solve x/3-3=11
velikii [3]

Hello!

To solve algebraic equation, we will need to use the acronym SADMEP.

SADMEP is similar to PEMDAS, but it is strictly used for solving algebraic equations. Expanded, it is subtract, addition, division, multiplication, exponents, and then parentheses.

Looking at SADMEP, we see that subtract/addition comes first, then division/multiplication, and then exponents/parentheses.

In our equation, our goal is to isolate the variable, "x". Since we have two constants, -3 and 11, and -3 is on the side with the variable, we can add -3 to both sides of the equation first.

Therefore, the first operation needed to solve the equation is addition.
