In synthetic division, you start by bringing down the first 1 in the box. Multiply that by the 1 outside the box and get a 1. Put that new 1 under the 2 inside the box and add to get 3. Multiply the outside the box by that 3 to get 3 and put that new 3 under the -3 in the box and add to get 0. Multiply that 0 by the 1 outside the box to get 0. Put that 0 under the 2 and add to get the remainder of 2. Your answer is 2, C.
d = days rented for
m = miles driven for
so the cost of the car is 35 bucks a day and 45 cents or $0.45 per mile driven, let's check it out for say a few days
1st day, 3 miles......................35(1) + 0.45(3)
2nd day, 2 miles..................35(2) + 0.45(2)
3rd day, say 5 miles............35(3) + 0.45(5)
dth day, and m miles..........35d + 0.45m
so the cost function could be written as C = 35d+0.45m.
now, we know for 2 days, d = 2, it cost 166.75 bucks, so
X= pi/4 +k(pi)
(This may not be correct sorry)
x/2 = -0.73
To solve for x multiply both sides by 2:
x = -1.46
Answer =-3 or -3/1
You can either do rise/run
Or you can find two points on the line and do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Two points on the line are (-1,2) and (-3,-4)
X1=-1 Y1=2
X2=-3 Y2=-4
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-4-2)/(-3-(-1)) =(-6)/(-3+1)
=-6/-2 = -3
So slope =-3/1 or -3 (same thing)
