Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.
When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor.

Answer:
5 cats
Step-by-step explanation:
d/c = 5/1
d = 25 Substitute in the proportion
25/c = 5/1 Multiply both sides by c
25 = 5c/1
25 = 5c Divide each side by 5
c = 5
There are five cats.
Answer: 1.4 seconds
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The equation is: h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀ where
- a is the acceleration (in this case it is gravity)
- v₀ is the initial velocity
- h₀ is the initial height
Given:
- a = -9.81 (if it wasn't given in your textbook, you can look it up)
- v₀ = 12
- h₀ = 3
Since we are trying to find out when it lands on the ground, h(t) = 0
EQUATION: 0 = 9.81t² + 12t + 3
Use the quadratic equation to find the x-intercepts
a=-9.81, b=12, c=3
Note: Negative time (-0.2) is not valid
