Given:

The expression is:

2x^3+mx^2+nx+c

It leaves the same remainder when divided by x -2 or by x+1.

To prove:

m+n=-6

Solution:

Remainder theorem: If a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x-c), thent he remainder is P(c).

Let the given polynomial is:

P(x)=2x^3+mx^2+nx+c

It leaves the same remainder when divided by x -2 or by x+1. By using remainder theorem, we can say that

P(2)=P(-1)              ...(i)

Substituting x=-1 in the given polynomial.

P(-1)=2(-1)^3+m(-1)^2+n(-1)+c

P(-1)=-2+m-n+c

Substituting x=2 in the given polynomial.

P(2)=2(2)^3+m(2)^2+n(2)+c

P(2)=2(8)+m(4)+2n+c

P(2)=16+4m+2n+c

Now, substitute the values of P(2) and P(-1) in (i), we get

16+4m+2n+c=-2+m-n+c

16+4m+2n+c+2-m+n-c=0

18+3m+3n=0

3m+3n=-18

Divide both sides by 3.

\dfrac{3m+3n}{3}=\dfrac{-18}{3}

m+n=-6

Hence proved.

The answer would be 60

The first think you would need to do would simply 144. Which would be 12.

Then you are going to want to multiply-5 by 12.
Which would be 60.
With 12 as a positive number, being greater or to than 60 then will become a positive.

155%of 80 is what number
brilliants [131]
Recall that the conversion of 155% to decimal is to divide by 100. Thus, 155%=1.55.

Now, multiply this by 80: 1.55 * 80=124

So our answer is 124.

Write 10 feet and 4 yards as a fraction in simplest form
S_A_V [24]
⅚. You first find out how many feet are in a yard (three). Then you write the fraction- 10/12. Then you reduce. The number two can evenly go into both of those numbers. Ten divided by two is five. Twelve divided by two is six. So, your final answer is ⅚.
