Answer:
-2x +4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the polynomial p(x) in terms of the factors (x+2) and (x-3) as ...
p(x) = (x+2)(x-3)q(x) +ax +b
Where ax+b is the remainder from division by x^2 -x -6 = (x+2)(x-3). The values of 'a' and 'b' can be found from ...
p(-2) = 8 = -2a +b
p(3) = -2 = 3a +b
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...
(3a +b) -(-2a +b) = (-2) -(8)
5a = -10
a = -2
Then the first equation tells us ...
8 = -2(-2) +b
4 = b
So, the remainder from division by (x^2 -x -6) is (-2x +4).
If Jeff starts with 1/2 of a pizza then eats 1/3 of it he has 2/3 of 1/2 left. Therefore if you multiply those together you get your answer.
(2/3)*(1/2)=2/6=1/3
Jeff has 1/3 of the pizza left
So to find the value of -3 do the following process:
Insert the -3 in the x’s in the equation on the top of the table
y= 5x -3x to the second power + 3
y= 5 (-3) -3(-3) to the second power + 3
Then continue to simplify the equation
y= -15 + 9 to the second power + 3
y= -15 + 84
y = 69
Y= 69 for the chart for -3
For b, c, and d insert the number in the x values and simplify like the previous equation.
