Assume the sum is 100. The ratio of the two numbers is 15:10. This means that we can divide this indow 15+10, or 25 parts. Let us do that. Divide 100 into 25 parts and see how much is in each part. 100/25 is 4, meaning that there is 4 in each part. 15 parts will have 15*4, or 60. 10 parts will have 10*4, or 40. To confirm, add 40 and 60. It matches with what we started out with, 100.
The two numbers, assuming the sum is 100, are 40 and 60. 60 is the greater value.
So for this, we will be using synthetic division. To set it up, have the equation so that the divisor is -10 (since that is the solution of k + 10 = 0) and the dividend are the coefficients. Our equation will look as such:
<em>(Note that synthetic division can only be used when the divisor is a 1st degree binomial)</em>
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ---------------------------
Now firstly, drop the 1:
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓
- -------------------------
- 1
Next, you are going to multiply -10 and 1, and then combine the product with 2.
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓ - 10
- -------------------------
- 1 - 8
Next, multiply -10 and -8, then combine the product with -82:
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓ -10 + 80
- -------------------------
- 1 - 8 - 2
Next, multiply -10 and -2, then combine the product with -28:
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓ -10 + 80 + 20
- -------------------------
- 1 - 8 - 2 - 8
Now, since we know that the degree of the dividend is 3, this means that the degree of the quotient is 2. Using this, the first 3 terms are k^2, k, and the constant, or in this case k² - 8k - 2. Now what about the last coefficient -8? Well this is our remainder, and will be written as -8/(k + 10).
<u>Putting it together, the quotient is

Answer:
(a)
$850.
(b)
$4250.
(c)
$4267.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the value of a new car decreases by about 15% in the first year.
(a)
Now we are asked to find the cost of a car after one year; if we are given the initial value of car=$1000.
As the rate decreases by 15%.
that means we have to pay (100-15)% of the initial amount.
i.e. we have to pay 85% of the initial amount.
Hence the amount one has to pay= 85% of 1000.
which is equal to =85%×1000
⇒ =
Hence, the amount of car after one year when initaial amount is $1000 is:
$850.
(b)
if initial amount=$ 5000
then amount one has to pay after one year:

Hence, the amount of car after one year when initaial amount is $5000 is:
$4250.
(c)
if initial amount=$ 5020
then amount one has to pay after one year:

Hence, the amount of car after one year when initaial amount is $5020 is:
$4267.
