I solved this rational equation by combining expressions and isolating the variable a
a = -2
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.
Divide <span>x^2 + 5x + 4 by x+2, using synth. div.:
______________
-2 / 1 5 4
-2 -6
------------------------
1 3 -2
Strange outcome! But if the area is truly x^2 + 5x + 4 and we divide that by side length x + 2, the quotient (result) is x + 3 with a remainder of -2. Ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly.</span>
Earth to Neptune is the greatest distance. The number at the top is a power. So 22 to the power 4 is 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 = 234 256. 22 to the power 7 is 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 = 2 494 360 000. It is 22 to the power 3 larger which is 10 648 times greater.
A) is 164 because 6 times 6 is 36. 500 - 36 is 164
