Answer: it doesn’t make sense why you have random numbers underneath that inequality sentence. But if anything it would look like 6+2 < 9+3
Step-by-step explanation:
This < equals less than, or more than depending on what number it’s facing. Think of it as an alligator that eating the specific number (or larger number bc its hungry) so whatever the open side is facing is a more than but the number the closed side is facing is less than.
Answer:
$50
Step-by-step explanation:
Part I - First synthetic division
You need to use synthetic division to come up with an expression for a and b:
(x + 2) is a factor, and the remainder is 7, so we can draw a synthetic division table...
coefficients = 1 for X^3; A for X^2; B for X^1; and 3
-2 | 1 A B 3
-2 -2(A-2) 4(A-2)-2B
1 (A-2) -2(A-2)+B 4(A-2)-2B + 3
Remainder = 7
<u>So...</u>
4(A-2)-2B + 3 = 7
4 * (A - 2) - 2B + 3 = 7
4A - 8 - 2B = 4
4A - 2B = 12
2A - B = 6
Proved
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part II - Second Synthetic Division
We draw another synthetic division table, this time with (x - 1), so the number on the left hand side will be +1
1 | 1 A B 3
1 (A+1) A+B+1
1 (A+1) A+B+1 A+B+4
Remainder = 4
<u>So...</u>
A + B + 4 = 4
A + B = 0
<u>A = -B
</u>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part III - Solving for A and B with our two simultaneous equations
We know that<u> </u><u>A = -B</u><u /> and we also know that 2A - B = 6
Since we know that A is equal to -B We can substitute in A for -B, to get:
2A - B = 6
Therefore...
2A + A = 6
3A = 6
<u>A = 2</u>
Again, as we know that A = -B, and as we have found that A = 2, we can see:
A = -B
Therefore...
2 = -B
<u>B = -2
</u>
So our final answer is <u>A = 2, B = -2</u><u />
Hopefully this answer is more useful than the last one, and isn't so confusing!
