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

Mathematics

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}

Calculate the unit rate:<br>write your answer as a decimal <br><br>1/2 mile in ever 1/3 hour​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

unit \: rate =  \frac{distance}{time}

unit rate is similar to speed / velocity:

unit \: rate =  \frac{ (\frac{1}{2} )}{ (\frac{1}{3})} \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \div  \frac{1}{3}  \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{3}{1}  \\  \\  = >  { \boxed{ \boxed{unit \: rate  =   \frac{3}{2}  \: miles \: per \: hour}}}

[<em>unit</em><em> </em><em>rate</em><em> </em><em>must</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>units</em><em> </em><em>including</em><em> </em><em>per</em><em> </em><em><</em><em>time</em><em>></em><em> </em>]

What are the approximate solutions of 2x^2 + x = 14, rounded to the nearest hundredth?
Slav-nsk [51]
Hello,

2x²+x-14=0
Δ=1+4*14*2=113

x=(-1-√113)/4=-2,8839...≈-2.88
or x=(-1+√113)/4=2,40753≈2.41
