Find the remainder for (x^10 + x^9 +...+x+1) divided by (x^2 - 1)

Mathematics

Assoli18 [71]3 years ago

Since x^2-1=(x-1)(x+1), by the remainder theorem we have

\dfrac{p(x)}{x-1} = q(x) + \dfrac{p(1)}{x-1} = q(x) + \dfrac{11}{x-1}

where p(x) = x^{10}+x^9+\cdots+x+1.

Then

\dfrac{p(x)}{x^2-1} = q^*(x) + \dfrac{q(-1)}{x+1} + \dfrac{11}{x^2-1} = q^*(x) + \dfrac{q(-1)(x-1) + 11}{x^2-1}

The only missing piece is <em>q(x)</em>, which we can get through usual polynomial division:

\dfrac{x^{10}+x^9+\cdots+x+1}{x-1} = \underbrace{x^9 + 2x^8 + 3x^7 + \cdots + 9x + 10}_{q(x)} + \dfrac{11}{x-1}

so that

q(-1) = (-1)^9 + 2(-1)^8 + \cdots + 9(-1) + 10 = 5

Then the remainder we want is

\dfrac{p(x)}{x^2-1} = q^*(x) + \dfrac5{x+1} + \dfrac{11}{x^2-1} = q^*(x) + \dfrac{5(x-1)+11}{x^2-1} = q^*(x) + \dfrac{\boxed{5x+6}}{x^2-1}

In politics, marketing, etc. We often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t
inessss [21]

Answer: |p-72% |≤ 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion.

The absolute inequality about p using an absolute value inequality.:

|p-\hat{p}| \leq E , where E = margin of error, \hat{p} = sample proportion

Given:  A poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% .

|p-72% |≤ 4%

⇒    72% - 4% ≤ p ≤ 72% +4%

⇒  68%  ≤ p ≤  76%.

i.e. p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (.

solve each equation. Round your answers to the nearest ten-thousandth. Show your work please. Part 2A​
Reika [66]

Answer:

16. x = 3.0822, -3.0822

17. x = 1.6432, -1.6432

18. x = 1, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

16. log5[(4x²+2)/8] = 1

(4x²+2)/8 = 5¹

4x² + 2 = 40

4x² = 38

x² = 38/4

x² = 19/2

x = +/- sqrt(19/2)

x = 3.0822, -3.0822

17. log7[(2x²-4)(5)] = 1

10x² - 20 = 7¹

10x² = 27

x² = 2.7

x = +/- sqrt(2.7)

x = 1.6432, -1.6432

18. log5[(2x²+8)/2] = 1

x² + 4 = 5¹

x² = 1

x = +/-1
