Hello haohaoxNienie!

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}

Show that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Explanation} \downarrow}

To show that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1, we must divide the polynomial by x - 1. If we get the remainder as 0, then we can say that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

So, let's do the division (steps in the attached picture).

We got the remainder as 0. So, yes p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

<h3><u>More steps :-</u></h3>

x² - 5x + 6

= <u>(x - 3) (x - 2)</u> [use the splitting the middle term method].

So, the zeroes are,

(x - 3)

x - 3 = 0

<u>x = 3 ⇨ 1</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>zero.</u>

(x - 2)

x - 2 = 0

<u>x = 2 ⇨ 2nd zero.</u>

Now, use the values of x on the equation. If we get 0 as the solution of the equation then we can prove that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

p(3) = 3³ - 6(3)² + 11 (3) - 6

p(3) = 27 - 54 + 33 - 6

<u>p(3) = 0.</u>

p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

p(2) = 2³ - 6(2)² + 11 (2) - 6

p(2) = 8 - 24 + 22 - 6

<u>p(2) = 0</u>

Since we got the solutions as 0 we can say that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

Paloma ran 3 3/4 miles around the school track. If each lap is 1/2 mile, how many laps did she run?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 9 because 1/2 goes into 3, 6 times, and then 3/4 divided by 1/2 is 1 1/2 so 1/2 goes into 3/4 1/12 times, so then figure out how mnay 1/2 is in 1 1/2 and youll get 3 so 6 plus 3 equals 9 :)

Find the zeros or roots for the quadratic expression 2^2−8−10. Must show all work to receive credit
Sav [38]

Answer:

x = -1,5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 8x - 10

2x² - 10x + 2x - 10

2x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)

(x - 5)(2x + 2)

x = 5 x = -2/2

x = -1,5

What are the solutions to the equation 3(x – 4)(x + 5) = 0?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

x=4 and x= - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we should re-arrange the equation:

(x-4)(x+5)=\frac{0}{3}

This is equal to:

(x-4)(x+5)=0

Then we can seperate this into:

(x-4)=0\\(x+5)=0

So solving for x in both cases we get

x-4=0 \\x=4\\And\\x+5=0\\x=-5\\
