Whitepunk [10]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the number is x.

Negative means a minus or subtraction.

Decrease also means a minus or subtraction.

Three times the number which we have assumed to be x will be: 3*x=3x

The answer:

-13 - 3x

X^5 + 243 divided by x+3

ch4aika [34]

-3   | 1   0   0   0   0   243 $\longleftarrow$ coefficients of the polynomial you're dividing
.     |                                   $\longleftarrow$ drop down the leading coefficient
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.     | 1

On the left side of the frame, we write -3 because we're dividing by $x+3=x-(-3)$ . (The algorithm is followed for division of a polynomial by a factor of $x-c$ .) Since we're dividing a degree 5 polynomial by a degree 1 polynomial, we expect to get a degree 4 polynomial.

-3   | 1   0   0   0   0   243
.     |      -3                         $\longleftarrow$ multiply -3 by 1, write in next column, add to 0
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.     | 1 -3

Repeat step for the remaining columns.

-3   | 1   0   0   0   0   243
.     |      -3   9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.     | 1 -3   9

-3   | 1   0   0      0   0   243
.     |      -3   9   -27
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.     | 1 -3   9   -27

-3   | 1   0   0      0 0   243
.     |      -3   9   -27   81
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.     | 1 -3   9   -27   81

-3   | 1   0   0      0 0 243
.     |      -3   9   -27   81 -243
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.     | 1 -3   9   -27   81       0

which translates to

$\dfrac{x^5+243}{x+3}=x^4-3x^3+9x^2-27x+81$

So the bottom row of the frame gives the coefficients of each term in the quotient by descending order. Since the last coefficient is 0, this means the remainder upon division vanishes, i.e. $x^5+243$ is exactly divisible by $x+3$ .

- - -

Another way to get the same result is to use a well-known result: for $a+b\neq0$ ,

$a^5+b^5=(a+b)(a^4-a^3b+a^2b^2-ab^3+b^4)\implies\dfrac{a^5+b^5}{a+b}=a^4-a^3b+a^2b^2-ab^3+b^4$

and in this case $a=x$ and $b=3$

The list price for a window is $220. Net price is $160. What is the trade discount rate?

Artist 52 [7]

220-220r=160
Solve for r to get the discount rate
r=0.2727
r=0.2727×100
r=27.27%

Check
220−220×0.2727
=160

If the angles of a traingle are in the ratio 2:3:4 , Find Them

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

40°, 60°, and 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

We can use this equation to solve for these angles:

180 = 2x + 3x + 4x

180 = 9x

20 = x

Then substitute the solution in for x to solve for the angles:

2(20) = 40°

3(20) = 60°

4(20) = 80°

Therefore, the angles are 40°, 60°, and 80°.
