Answer:

percentages are used like fractions and decimals, as ways to describe parts of a whole. For example, discounts in shops, bank interest rates, rates of inflation and many statistics in the media are expressed as percentages. Percentages are important for understanding the financial aspects of everyday life. When you are using percentages, the whole is considered to be made up of a hundred equal parts. The symbol % is used to show that a number is a percentage, and less commonly the abbreviation 'pct' may be used.

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x − 4) is a factor, what else must be true?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$f(4)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder Theorem states that when you divide a polynomial $f(x)$ by a linear factor $(x-a)$ , where $a$ is a constant, the remainder is $f(x)$ evaluated at $x=a$

Moreover, according to the Factor Theorem, an extension of the Remainder Theorem, if the remainder of the function $f(x)$ is 0 when evaluated at $x=a$ , then $(x-a)$ is said to be a factor of the polynomial $f(x)$

Given the 2 theorems above, it follows that if $(x-4)$ is a factor of $f(x)$ , then the remainder is equal to 0 when $f(x)$ is evaluated at $x=4$
