Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If the polynomial p(x) is divided by a polynomial of the form x+k (which accounts for all of the possible answer choices in this question), the result can be written as

p(x)/x+k = q(x) + r/x+k

where q(x) is a polynomial and r is the remainder. Since x+k is a degree-1 polynomial (meaning it only includes x^{1} and no higher exponents), the remainder is a real number.

Therefore, p(x) can be rewritten as p(x) = (x+k)q(x) + r, where r is a real number.

The question states that p(3) = −2, so it must be true that

−2 = p(3) = (3+k)q(3) + r

Now we can plug in all the possible answers. If the answer is A, B, or C, r will be 0, while if the answer is D, r will be −2.

A. −2=p(3)=(3+(−5))q(3)+0

−2=(3−5)q(3)

−2=(−2)q(3)

This could be true, but only if q(3)=1

B. −2=p(3)=(3+(−2))q(3)+0

−2=(3−2)q(3)

−2=(−1)q(3)

This could be true, but only if q(3)=2

C. −2=p(3)=(3+2)q(3)+0

−2=(5)q(3)

This could be true, but only if q(3) = −2/5

D. −2=p(3)=(3+(−3))q(3)+(−2)

−2=(3−3)q(3)+(−2)

−2=(0)q(3)+(−2)

This will always be true no matter what q(3) is.

Of the answer choices, the only one that must be true about p(x) is D, that the remainder when p(x) is divided by x−3 is -2.

The final answer is D.

Answer:

y = 5 * (3^x)

Step-by-step explanation:A scientist begins an experiment with a culture of 5 bacteria cells.

Every hour, the number of bacteria cells triples.

Which equation can be used to represent the number of bacteria cells, y, as it relates to time in hours, x?

:

I think it would be y = 5 * (3^x)

The heights of men in the United States are approximately normally distributed with mean 69.1 inches and standard deviation 2.9
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M be the heights of men in the United States and W be the heights of women in the United States

Given that M is N(69.1, 2.9) and W (63.7, 2.7)

For a husband and wife we have average height as

\frac{x+y}{2}=Z (say)

Mean =E(z) = \frac{1}{2} [E(M)+E(W)] = 66.4 inches

Var (Z) =Var (\frac{x+y}{2} )=\frac{1}{4}[Var(x)+ Var(y)+2 cov (x,y)]\\

=0.25[2.9^2+2.7^2+2*r*sx*sy]\\= 0.25(20.398)\\=5.0995

Mean = 66.4" and std dev = 2.258
