It would be replaced with f(-2) which is the reciperacle of 2x
First, let's fine the decimal of each fraction.
-5 Divided By 6 = -0.83333333333
17 Divided By 18 = 0.94444444444
-2 Divided By 9 = -0.22222222222
-5/6 - 17/18 - (-2/9) = -1.55555555556
1.64
2. 95%
Hope this helps you.
4x + 12
2x - 5

6x+7
does this help at all?

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:
| 2 -7 8 -3
<u>1 | 2 -5 3</u>
| 2 -5 3 0
<u> 1 | 2 -3 </u>
2 -3 0
So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:


Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:
| 1 -1 0 -4
<u>2 | 2 2 </u>
1 2 2 0
So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.


Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:
| 6 7 9 2
<u>-2 | -12 10 -2</u>
6 -5 1 0
So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:
