If P(x) = p_nx^n + p_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\ldots+p_0 is divided by (x-a), then P(x) = (x-a) \cdot Q(x) + R(x) for some polynomials Q,R. Moreover, \deg R < 1 (because \deg (x-a) = 1), so there exists  \alpha \in \mathbb{R} such that R(x) = \alpha for all x \in \mathbb{R}. But if we calculate P(a), it turns out that P(a) = (a-a)\cdot Q(a) + \alpha, so R(x) = \alpha = P(a). \blacksquare

The length (in centimeters) of a typical Pacific halibut t years old is approximately f(t) = 200(1 − 0.956e−0.18t). Suppose a Pa
horsena [70]

Answer:

7.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})

where f(t) is the length and t is the number of years old

given the Mike measures 148 cm, we need to find out the age

So we plug in 148 for f(t) and solve for t

148 =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})

divide both sides by 200

\frac{148}{200} = 1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t}

Now subtract 1 from both sides

-0.26= - 0.956e^{-0.18t}

Divide both sides by -0.956

\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}

Now take ln on both sides

\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}

ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18tln(e)

ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18t

divide both sides by -0.18

t=7.2

So 7.2 years

Which inequality represents all values of x for which the quotient below is<br> defined?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Option B: x > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because \sqrt{3(0)}will be 0. So, the inequality can't be divided by 0.

Option C is wrong because 1 will suffice this inequality. \sqrt{7}/\sqrt{3}=1.5 (approx)

Option D is wrong because any value in the root has to be greater or equal to 0 (otherwise, it's imaginary number). -1 will give the latter root a value of root-(-3).

Leaving us with only option B, which is the right answer.

write a conjecture as to the number of sides as compared to the number of triangles formed when drawing diagonals from one verte
zmey [24]

Answer:The Collatz conjecture is a conjecture in mathematics that concerns a sequence defined as follows: start with any positive integer n. Then each term is obtained from the previous term as follows: if the previous term is even, the next term is one half the previous term. If the previous term is odd, the next term is 3 times the previous term plus 1.

Step-by-step explanation :an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
