Question

The number of light bulbs produced by a company can be modeled by the expression

Answer 1

Answer:

Expression is 3x² + 5x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the number of lights produced by a company is;

Number of lights = 15x^3 + 16x^2 – 100x + 51

Also, number of companies that purchased the light bulbs is 5x - 3.

Thus;

The average number of bulbs purchased per company = (15x^3 + 16x^2 – 100x + 51)/(5x - 3)

I have attached the calculation using long division method to get;

3x² + 5x - 17
