Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the fact that the remainder is -7 after we divide by x -1 , then we know that f(1) = -7. But f(1) = 2 + a - 6.

So 2 + a - 6 = -7

a - 4 = -7

a = 4 - 7

a = -3.

Also we know that when divided by x + 3 the remainder is 129. Hence f( -3) = 129

129 = f(-3) = 2 (-3)^ n + (-3)(-3)^2 -6

129 = 2 (-3)^n -27 - 6

129 = 2 (-3)^n -33

129 + 33 = 2(-3)^n

162 = 2 (-3)^n

81 = (-3)^n

Hence n =4 and therefore f(x) = 2x^4 -3x^2 - 6.

McDonalds sells quarter-pound cheeseburgers for .99 cents last saturday.they sold 310 of these cheeseburgers. how many pounds of
Anvisha [2.4K]
The first thing you should do is calculate how many pounds of cheese a hamburger has
 1 hamburger = 1/4 pound of cheese.
 Then, you can make a rule of three to know how many pounds of cheese were sold:
 1 ---> 1/4
 310 ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((310) / (1)) * (1/4) = 77.5
 Answer
 they sell last saturday 77.5 pounds of cheese
