Answer:
(c) For p = 15, leaves a remainder of -2 when divided by (x-3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, The dividend expression is = E(x)
The Divisor = (x-3)
Remainder = -2
Now, by <u>REMAINDER THEOREM</u>:
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
If ( x -3 ) divides the given polynomial with a remainder -2.
⇒ x = 3 is a solution of given polynomial E(x) - (-2) =
= S(x)
Now, S(3) = 0
⇒
or, p =1 5
Hence, for p = 15, leaves a remainder of -2 when divided by (x-3).
Answer:
Jim's current weight = 119 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Stone = 14 pounds
stone = 1.5 stone
1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds
Jim lost 21 pounds
Let X be Jim's Original Weight
Y be his present weight
As per given statement in the Question:
After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y
Present weight = original weight - 21
Y = X -21 <u> Equation 1</u>
Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)
Y = 85 % (X) =
Y=
put in Equation 1
= X-21
85X = (X-21) 100
85 X = 100 X -2100
or
2100 = 100 X - 85X
2100 = 15X
or
15 X = 2100
X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)
Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 <u><em>(From Equation 1)</em></u>
Y = X -21
Y = 140 -21
Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)
