You can find the remainder right away by simply plugging in x=3. The polynomial remainder theorem guarantees that the value of p(3) is the remainder upon dividing p(x) by x-3, but I digress...

Synthetic division yields

3   |   2   -11   18   -15
.    |           6   -15     9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.    |   2     -5     3     -6

which translates to

\dfrac{2x^3-11x^2+18x-15}{x-3}=2x^2-5x+3-\dfrac6{x-3}

(and note that p(3)=2(3)^3-11(3)^2+18(3)-15=-6, as expected)

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3,-1 ) and has a slope of 3/5
vfiekz [6]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have the point (-3, -1) and the slope m = 3/5. Substitute:

y-(-1)=\dfrac{3}{5}(x-(-3))\\\\y+1=\dfrac{3}{5}(x+3)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\y+1=\dfrac{3}{5}x+\dfrac{9}{5}\qqua\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{5}x+\dfrac{4}{5}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\5y=3x+4\qquad\text{subtract 3x from both sides}\\\\-3x+5y=4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\3x-5y=-4

Answer:

point-slope form: y + 1 = 3/5(x + 3)

slope-intercept form: y = 3/5x + 4/5

standard form: 3x - 5y = -4

Triangle ABC is isosceles. What are the steps you would take to construct the perpendicular bisector for segment AB.​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

look at my Step-by-step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector of a line segment

open the compass more than half of the distance between A and B, and scribe arcs of the same radius centered at A and B.

Call the two points where these two arcs meet C and D. Draw the line between C and D.

CD is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. Call the point where CD intersects AB E.

Proof. top.
