Use the remainder theorem to show that (x+1) is a factor of f(x)=2x^3-7x^2-5x+4
1 answer:
well, the remainder theorem says that if the polynomial f(x) has a factor of (x-a), then if we just plug in the "a" in f(x) it'll gives a remainder, assuming (x-a) is indeed a factor, then that remainder must be 0, so if f(a) = 0 then indeed (x-a) is a factor of f(x). After all that mumble jumble, let's proceed, we have (x+1), that means [ x - (-1) ], so if we plug in -1 in f(x), we should get 0, or f(-1) = 0, let's see if that's true.

well, we know y = -2x+8.... so.. what's the runner's velocity after 5hours? well, x = 5, thus y = -2(5) +8 ---> y = -2
to graph it, well, is a LINEar equation, meaning the graph is a LINE, and to graph a line, all you need is two points, and by now, you have more than two.. so graph it away.
