558 gallons are used when the car has been driven 18 miles.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>From the given data, it can be determined that :</u>
- The number of gallons for 2 miles = 62 gallons
- The number of gallons for 4 miles = 124 gallons
- The number of gallons for 10 miles = 310 gallons
Let, the number of gallons for 18 miles = 'x' gallons
<u>To find x :</u>
compare the given data with the unknown data,
62 gallons / 2 miles = x gallons / 18 miles
keep x alone on one side,
x = (62×18) / 2
x = 31×18
x = 558 gallons
Therefore, 558 gallons are used to drive 18 miles.
You would simply add the 54 to the -12 and get +42
Your answer is 8.4 X 10^7.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) has degree 3
(x - 4) has degree 1
So p(x) can be rewritten as a polynomial of degree 2 multiplying (x-4)
So

To find a, b and c, we have to divide p(x) by x - 4.
So
Finding a:
Dividing the first term of p(x) by x - 4.

So a = 3.
Now multiplying 3x² by, x - 4, we have:

Subtracting p(x) from this:

Finding b:
Dividing the first term, after the subtraction, by x - 4.

So b = -8.
Multiplying -8x by x - 4, we have:

Then
Finding c:

So c = 5.
Just to verify if the remainder is 0.


Ok
Then:
