Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y1 = 5.2

y2 = 1

x1 = 0

x2 = -1.5

Solution:

m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

m = ( 1 - 5.2 ) / ( -1.5 - 0 )

m = -4.2 / -1.5

m = 2.8

then

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 5.2 = 2.8 ( x - 0 )

y - 5.2 = 2.8x - 0

y = 2.8x + 5.2

You roll a 6-sided die.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{P(not factor of 35) = } \frac{2}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use basic probability to find the probability that this roll is not a factor of 35.

First off, we know that with a six sided die there are 6 possible things we can roll.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6

Now, what are the factors of 35? The factors of 35 will be any whole number that can be multiplied by another whole number to get 35.

We know $1 \cdot 35 = 35$ , so two factors are 1 and 35.
We know $5 \cdot 7 = 35$ , so two factors are 5 and 7.

Therefore, the factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, 35.

Both 5 and 7 are inside the range of 1-6. So the probability of rolling a side that's a factor of 35 will be $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$ since there are two factors and 6 possible options.

This means, logically, there is a $\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$ chance of not rolling a factor of 35.

Hope this helped!

You synthetic division to find P(3) for p(x)=x^4-6x^3-4x^2-6x-2

klio [65]

By the polynomial remainder theorem, the remainder upon dividing $p(x)$ by $x-3$ will be the value of $p(3)$ .

... | 1 ... -6 ... -4 ... -6 .... -2
3. | .. ... 3 ... -9 ... -39 .. -135
--------------------------------------
... | 1 ... -3 ... -13 . -45 .. -137

So you have

$\dfrac{x^4-6x^3-4x^2-6x-2}{x-3}=x^3-3x^2-13x-45-\dfrac{137}{x-3}$

which means $p(3)=-137$ .
