<h3>Answer:   -2</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

We use the remainder theorem. This is the idea where if we divide P(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is P(k).

Comparing x+1 to x-k shows that k = -1

It might help to rewrite x+1 as x-(-1) to get it into the form x-k better.

Plug this k value into the function

f(x) = 2x^6 + 3x^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 3(-1)^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(1) + 3(-1) - 1

f(-1) = 2 - 3 - 1

f(-1) = -1 - 1

f(-1) =-2

The remainder is -2

We can confirm this through synthetic division or polynomial long division.

Jaime reads 36 pages of her novel in three nights. If Jaime continues to read at this rate, How many nights will it take for her
Lera25 [3.4K]
Nine days. You can divide 108 by 36, to get how many times she has to read 36 pages, which is 3. Then you multiply that by 3, because she uses 3days for every 36 pages. 3x3=9

What is the solution of the system? Use substitution.
nekit [7.7K]
Substituting y=6x+2 into equation 3y - 18x =12 looks like:

3(6x + 2) - 18x = 12
18x + 6 - 18x = 12  distributive property left side
6 = 12  simplifying the left side

We now see a contradiction:   6 does not equal 12  What this tells us is that there is no solutions to this equation.  So choice 'C' ...
