In order to use the remainder theorem, you need to have some idea what to divide by. The rational root theorem tells you rational roots will be from the list derived from the factors of the constant term, {±1, ±5}. When we compare coefficients of odd power terms to those of even power terms, we find their sums are equal, which means -1 is a root and (x +1) is a factor.
Dividing that from the cubic, we get a quotient of x² +6x +5 (and a remainder of zero). We recognize that 6 is the sum of the factors 1 and 5 of the constant term 5, so the factorization is
... = (x +1)(x +1)(x +5)
... = (x +1)²(x +5)
_____
The product of factors (x +a)(x +b) will be x² + (a+b)x + ab. That is, the factorization can be found by looking for factors of the constant term (ab) that add to give the coefficient of the linear term (a+b). The numbers found can be put directly into the binomial factors to make (x+a)(x+b).
When we have 1·5 = 5 and 1+5 = 6, we know the factorization of x²+6x+5 is (x+1)(x+5).
Answer: 37
Step-by-step explanation: If you start your math by taking 48 and subtracting 7 you will get 41, this question says it the sum of both ages will be 48 in 7 years so subtract those to get 48. After, you can subtract 4 from 41 since that is just the sum of both ages, you take 41 and minus 4, your answer is 37 (sorry if its wrong but I think its most likely going to be correct)
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
You are correct. x does equal 6
Our current equation is:
-8r -31 = -3(5r -6)
To solve for this, we need to get r on one side of the equation and then simplify if needed.
On the right side of the equation, we have a pending Distributive Property, which is when you multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables in the parenthesis.
Let's simplify this Distributive Property to help understand our equation better.
-3(5r -6)
Multiply -3 by each number/variable separately (unless they are already being multiplied, like 2x, 1/2x, etc).
-3(5r) + -3(-6).
-3(5r) = -15r
-3(-6) = 18 (both negatives need to be in parenthesis to keep a product as negative, and if you do not multiply them in that way, you will end up with a positive product).
Your equation now is:
-8r -31 = -15r + 18
Add 15r to both sides to get r on one side.
7r -31 = 18 is now our current equation.
Add 31 to both sides to get 7r by itself.
7r = 49 is now our equation.
r is still being multiplied by 7, so we need to do the opposite of multiplying by 7.
Divide both sides by 7.
r = 7.
I hope this helps!
