Round 296 up to 300 and then divide 300 by 4 mentally. Answer: 75. Which is a more reasonable partial quotient, 50 or 70?
Because

therefore
f(x) = (x-3)(2x² + 10x - 1) + k, where k = constant.
Because f(3) = 4, therefore k =4.
The polynomial is
f(x) = 2x³ + 10x² - x - 6x² - 30x + 3 + 4
= 2x³ + 4x² - 31x + 7
Answer: f(x) = 2x³ + 4x² - 31x + 7
<h2><u>Circle Equations</u></h2>
<h3>Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics.</h3><h3>Center: (0, 0); Radius: 2</h3>
To determine the equation of a circle, use the standard form of a circle (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where,
- <u>(h, k)</u> is the center; and
- <u>r</u> is the radius
Substitute the values of the center and radius to the standard form.
<u>Given:</u>
<u>(0, 0)</u> - <u>center</u>
<u>2</u> - <u>radius</u>
- (x - h)² + (y - k)² = 2²
- (x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 4
- x² + y² = 4
<u>Answer:</u>
- The equation of the circle is <u>x² + y² = 4</u>.
