Since the divisor is in the form (x + #) or (x - #), This can be done by synthetic division.
First put the polynomial ion descending order: x^2 - 7x + 15
Take the coefficients of the terms and follow these steps:
3 | 1 -7 15
3 -12
___________ Bring down the 1, multiply the 3 by the 1 and place under the
1 -4 3 -7, then add.
Multiply 3 by -4, place under the 15, then add.
The bottom row is our answer. Since the problem started with a second power, the answer will start with a first power.
The bottom row are the coefficients of the terms and the last number is the remainder.
x - 4 remainder 3 ALSO WRITTEN x - 4 + 3/(x -3)

Answer:
The answer is Tonya's phone had the greater initial trade-in value.
Leo's phone decreases at an average rate slower than the trade in value of Tonya's phone.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Tonya

Leo




Solving (a): The phone with greater initial value
The initial value is when x = 0. So, we have:




From Leo's table

By comparison;

i.e.

<em>So: Tonya's had the greater initial trade-in value</em>
Solving (b): The phone with lesser rate
An exponential function is:

Where:

For Tonya

For Leo, we have:


So, the equation becomes:

and 
Solving
, we have:



becomes

Divide both sides by 480

Take square roots

-- Leo's rate
By comparison; Leo's rate is slower i.e. 0.87 < 0.88
