since we know those two triangles are similar then we can use proportions.

\cfrac{AE}{AB}=\cfrac{AD}{AC}\implies \cfrac{14-8}{2x}=\cfrac{14}{2x+4}\implies \cfrac{6}{2x}=\cfrac{14}{2x+4}\implies \cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{14}{2x+4} \\\\\\ 6x+12=14x\implies 12=8x\implies \cfrac{12}{8}=x\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ AB=2x+4\implies AB=2\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)+4\implies AB=3+4\implies AB=7

Find the remainder when
Alona [7]

Dividing <em>f(x)</em> by 2<em>x</em> + 5 leaves the same remainder as division by <em>x</em> + 5/2. By the remainder theorem, it is equal to <em>f </em>(-5/2), so the remainder here is

<em>f</em> (-5/2) = 8 (-5/2)³ + 4 (-5/2)² - 13 (-5/2) + 3 = -129/2
