<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.

Find three consecutive integers such as two times the first integer, plus three times the second integer, minus the third intege
NikAS [45]

The three consecutive integers are 5, 6, and 7.

What are consecutive integers?

Whole numbers that follow one another without a gap are known as consecutive integers. A few examples of consecutive integers are 15, 16, and 17, 1,2 and 3, and so on.

Finding the Consecutive Integers

Let the three consecutive integers be a, a + 1, and a + 2.

These three consecutive integers are to be such that two times the first integer when added to three times the second integer minus the third integer, it is equal to 21.

⇒ 2a + 3(a+1) - (a+2) = 21

2a + 3a + 3 - a -2 = 21

5a - a + 3 - 2 = 21

4a + 1 = 21

4a = 20

a = 20/4

a = 5

∴ a+1 = 5+1

a+1 = 6

And, a+2 = 5 + 2

a +2 =7

Hence, the three consecutive integers come out to be 5, 6, and 7
