This is by the rmeainder theorem f(7)

= 7^3 - 14(7)^2 + 51(7) - 22

= -8

We are given polynomial function $f(x) = x^3-14x^2+51x-22.$

We need to divide it by (x-7) to get the remainder.

Please see.. if we set x-7 equals 0, we get

x-7=0

x=7.

Plugging x=7 in the given polynomial, we get

$f(7) = (7)^3-14(7)^2+51(7)-22$

=343-686+357-22

=-8.

<h3>Therefore, remainder is −8.</h3>

A farmers productions statistics finds that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens will be needed

Lelu [443]

Answer:

8 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to know the number of eggs produced by a single chicken in 24 hours.

Since 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24hours, this means 1 chicken will produce 3 eggs in 24 hours.

Now, we need 24 eggs to be produced. Since the time is the same 24hours, meaning time is constant, the number of chickens required to produce 24 eggs will be 24/3 = 8 chickens

Hence, we can say that 8 chickens will produce 24eggs in 24 hours

How is the series 5+11+17…+251 represented in summation notation?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Series 5+11+17+...+251

To find:

Summation notation of the given series

Summation Notation:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{k=1}^n a_k}$

Where n is the number of terms and $\displaystyle \large{a_k}$ is general term.

First, determine what kind of series it is, there are two main series that everyone should know:

Arithmetic Series

A series that has common difference.

Geometric Series

A series that has common ratio.

If you notice and keep subtracting the next term with previous term:

11-5 = 6
17-11 = 6

Two common difference, we can in fact say that the series is arithmetic one. Since we know the type of series, we have to find the number of terms.

Now that brings us to arithmetic sequence, we know that first term is 5 and last term is 251, we’ll be finding both general term and number of term using arithmetic sequence:

<u>Arithmetic Sequence</u>

$\displaystyle \large{a_n=a_1+(n-1)d}$

Where $\displaystyle \large{a_n}$ is the nth term, $\displaystyle \large{a_1}$ is the first term and $\displaystyle \large{d}$ is the common difference:

So for our general term:

$\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+(n-1)6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+6n-6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=6n-1}$

And for number of terms, substitute $\displaystyle \large{a_n}$ = 251 and solve for n:

$\displaystyle \large{251=6n-1}\\\displaystyle \large{252=6n}\\\displaystyle \large{n=42}$

Now we can convert the series to summation notation as given the formula above, substitute as we get:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)$
