<h3>Answer:   7x - 5</h3>

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

Explanation:

We're dividing some unknown polynomial P(x) over (x+2) to get a quotient Q1(x) and remainder -19. That must mean

P(x)/(x+2) = Q1(x) - 19/(x+2)

P(x) = Q1(x)*(x+2) - 19

Note that plugging in x = -2 leads to P(-2) = -19. This is an example of the remainder theorem.  

Similarly,

P(x) = Q2(x)*(x-1) + 2

since dividing by (x-1) leads to a remainder of 2. We have P(1) = 2.

We'll use P(-2) = -19 and P(1) = 2 in the later sections below.

----------------

We want to find the value of r such that

P(x) = Q3*(x+2)(x-1) + r

Let's say that r = ax+b

Meaning we now have

P(x) = Q3*(x+2)(x-1) + r

P(x) = Q3*(x+2)(x-1) + ax+b

The goal from here is to find 'a' and b so we can get the remainder ax+b.

----------------

Plug in x = -2 and solve for b.

P(x) = Q3*(x+2)(x-1) + ax+b

P(-2) = Q3*(-2+2)(-2-1) + a(-2)+b

-19 = Q3*(0)(-3)-2a+b

-19 = -2a+b

b = 2a-19

----------------

Plug in x = 1 to get...

P(x) = Q3*(x+2)(x-1) + ax+b

P(1) = Q3*(1+2)(1-1) + a(1)+b

P(1) = a+b

2 = a+b

a+b = 2

a+(2a-19) = 2 .... plug in b = 2a-19

3a-19 = 2

3a = 19+2

3a = 21

a = 21/3

a = 7

Use that value to find b

b = 2a-19

b = 2(7)-19

b = 14-19

b = -5

----------------

We found that a = 7 and b = -5.

The remainder ax+b updates to the final answer 7x-5

Hello!

First you to do 65 * 0.20

0.20 is 20% as a decimal

65 * 0.20 = 13

$13 is how much John saves.

To find out how much the skateboard cost you subtract how much he saved by the cost of the skateboard

65 - 13 = 52

The skateboard cost $52

Hope this helps!

A patrolman spends three times as many hours patrolling as she does completing paper work. If she works 36 hours per week, how m
fomenos

Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her work "x" hours for paperwork

Since, patrolling amount of hours is THREE TIMES that,

Patrolling = 3x hours

Total Hours = 36

That is including paperhour work (x) and patrolling (3x). So we can setup an equation in x and solve for x first:

x + 3x = 36

4x = 36

x = 36/4

x = 9 hours

Amount of Hours for Patarolling = 3x hours = 3(9) = 27 hours

So, she spends 27 hours patrolling

You are considering a 5/1 ARM. What does the 1 represent?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

  B. The number of years between adjustments in the interest rate

Step-by-step explanation:

The "5" in "5/1" means there will not be any adjustment in interest rate for the first 5 years.

The "1" in "5/1" means interest rates may be adjusted at 1-year intervals after the initial 5-year period.
