f(-3) would be 36.
When looking at synthetic division, the numbers across the top represent the coefficients of x^2, x and the constant in that order. Therefore, the equation is as follows.
2x^2 - 5x + 3
Now we can put -3 into the equation and solve.
2(-3)^2 - 5(-3) + 3
2(9) + 15 + 3
18 + 15 + 3
36
Answer:
The smallest value of p+q is 11
It happens when p = 6 and q = 5.
=======================================================
Explanation:
Let's factor 180 in such a way that exactly one factor is a perfect square.
I'll ignore the trivial factor of 1.
Here are the possible factorizations we could go with:
180 = 4*45
180 = 9*20
180 = 36*5
Those factorizations then lead to the following

Then we have
p+q = 2+45 = 47
p+q = 3+20 = 23
p+q = 6+5 = 11
The smallest value of p+q is 11 and it happens when p = 6 and q = 5.
Side note: p+q is smallest when we go with the largest perfect square factor.
2/3 is the answer.
<span>1/3 is equal to 33.33333333% </span>
