Step-by-step explanation:
3(p2q + pq2 - pq) - 6pq + 3pq2 =
3[-20 × 2 + (-20) × 2 - (-20)] - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =
3[-40 + (-40) + 20] - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =
3(-40 - 40 + 20) - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =
3(-80 + 20) - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =
3 × (-60) - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =
-180 + 120 + 6 × (-20) =
-180 + 120 + (-120) =
-180 + 120 - 120 =
-60 - 120 = -180
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. It states that if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a <em>binomial</em> in the form (x - a), then our remainder will be P(a).
We are dividing:
So, a polynomial by a binomial factor.
Our factor is (x + k) or (x - (-k)). Using the form (x - a), our a = -k.
We want our remainder to be 3. So, P(a)=P(-k)=3.
Therefore:
Simplify:
Solve for <em>k</em>. Subtract 3 from both sides:
Factor:
Zero Product Property:
Solve:
So, either of the two expressions:
Will yield 3 as the remainder.
