Use synthetic division to solve (x4 – 1) ÷ (x – 1). What is the quotient?
For this case, we must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the dividend until it reaches the rest.
The attached figure shows the quotient given by:
[tex]x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + x + 1[/tex]
Answer:
Quotient: [tex]x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + x + 1[/tex]
See attached image
Answer:
Quotient is: x^3+x^2+x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve (x^4-1) ÷ (x-1) using synthetic division.
In synthetic division we write the coefficients in decreasing order of their powers. We have x^4-1 that can be written as: 1x^4 + 0x^3 + 0x^2 + 0x -1
so our coefficients will be
1 0 0 0 -1
and for synthetic division, we take the constant term of divisor and change its sign.
We have x-1, constant term -1 so, our value will be 1.
The division is attached in the figure below.
Quotient is: x^3+x^2+x+1
The circle below is centered at the origin and has a radius of 5 what is it’s equation
Answer:
x^2 + y^2 = 5^2
or x^2 +y^2 = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle is usually written in the form
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius
The center is at the origin so (h,k) = (0,0) and the radius is 5 so r=5
x^2 + y^2 = 5^2
or x^2 +y^2 = 25
Answer:
x² + y² = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
Center ( h⁰, k⁰)
radius = 5/r
(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 5² ⇒ x² + y² = 25
This will be your answer : x² + y² = 25

What is Geometric Transformation?Transformation of geometrical figures or points is the manipulation of a given figure to some other way.
Different types of transformations are Rotation, Reflection, Glide reflection, Translation and Dilation.
Given is a function f(x) and the transformed function g(x) = f(x - 3) + 4.
After translation, the original figure is shifted from a place to another place without affecting it's size.
Here the transformation is both horizontal and vertical translation.
f(x) is first changed to f(x - 3).
When f(x) is changed to f(x - d), the function is shifted right d units.
So here the function is shifted right to 3 units.
Similarly when f(x) changed to f((x) + d, then the function is shifted up d units.
So the function is also shifted up 4 units.
Hence the transformation is the graph is shifted right to 3 units and up 4 units.

1 )n = −2
2) n = 4
3 )n = fraction 1 over 2
4) n = fraction 2 over 3
Answer:
value of n = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{4}{5n}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{5n}[/tex]
We need to solve the above equation.
Find Least Common multiplier from 5n, 5 = 5n
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5n
[tex]\frac{4}{5n}*5n-\frac{1}{5}*5n=\frac{2}{5n}*5n\\Solving:\\4 -n = 2\\[/tex]
Now finding the value of n.

Explanation:The subject of the question is about finding the equation of a line that passes through the points (-1,2) and (3,1). To find the correct equation, we need to use the formula for the slope of a line which is: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Plugging in the coordinates (-1,2) and (3,1) will give us a slope of -1/4 or -0.25.

What is the value of x?
a)20
b)35
c)60
d)70
Answer:
x is equal to 20, or the answer A
Step-by-step explanation:
They are opposite angles so they are equal to each other. When you set up the equation (x+40)=3x, you get the answer to be 20. hope this helped!
For this case we have to define by opposite angles the vertex that:
[tex]x + 40 = 3x[/tex]
Subtracting 3x on both sides of the equation:
[tex]x-3x + 40 = 0\\-2x + 40 = 0[/tex]
Subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]-2x = -40[/tex]
Dividing between -2 on both sides of the equation:
[tex]x = \frac {-40} {- 2}\\x = 20[/tex]

Triangle DEF can be proven congruent to triangle KLM using the Leg-Leg (LL) Theorem, Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Theorem, and Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) criterion .
The correct answer is option B, C and E.
In geometry, a congruence theorem is a statement that two geometric figures are congruent, meaning that they have the same size and shape. There are many different congruence theorems, but the most common ones are the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Theorem, the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Theorem, and the Leg-Leg (LL) Theorem.
The LL Theorem is a special congruence theorem that applies to right triangles. It states that if two right triangles have two congruent legs, then the triangles are congruent. This means that all of their corresponding sides and angles are congruent.
In the diagram provided, we have two right triangles, DEF and KLM. We are given that DE = KL and DF = LM. Since these are the legs of the two triangles, we can use the LL Theorem to conclude that DEF = KLM.
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL): This criterion applies specifically to right-angled triangles. If the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Here, the right angles at D and K establish the triangles as right triangles, and the equal side lengths ED = KL and DF = KM complete the congruence conditions.
We cannot use the HL Theorem because the diagram does not explicitly show that the two triangles are right triangles.
Therefore, from the given options the correct one is B , C and E.

Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the radius of smaller sphere is r,
The volume of sphere is given by:
[tex]V_1=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]
where V_1 is the volume of the small sphere.
As we know that the radius of large sphere is double of the smaller sphere, the radius of large sphere will be 2r
Let V_2 be the volume of large sphere
[tex]V_2=\frac{4}{3}\pi (2r)^{3} \\ =\frac{4}{3}\pi *8r^3[/tex]
Separating 8 aside
[tex]V_2=8(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3})\\V_2=8V_1[/tex]
We can see that the volume of large sphere is eight times the volume of small sphere ..
Answer:
8 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
ratio of radii = a : b, then
ratio of volumes = a³ : b³
Here ratio of radii = 1 : 2, hence
ratio of volumes = 1³ : 2³ = 1 : 8
Thus the volume of the large sphere is 8 times the volume of the small sphere

r(x) = -0.21x^3 + x^2 - 8.1x - 3 for x= -1 and x = 2
Answer:
r(-1) = 6.31 and r(2) = -16.88
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets read the problem and solve it
- Evaluate means find the value, so evaluate r(x) means find the value
of it at the given values of x
∵ r(x) = -0.21x³ + x² - 8.1x - 3
∵ x = -1 and x = 2
- Then find r(-1) by substitute x by -1 and find r(2) by substitute x by 2
# At x = -1
∴ r(-1) = -0.21(-1)³ + (-1)² - 8.1(-1) - 3
∴ r(-1) = -0.21(-1) + (1) - 8.1(-1) - 3
∴ r(-1) = 0.21 + 1 + 8.1 - 3
∴ r(-1) = 6.31
# At x = 2
∴ r(2) = -0.21(2)³ + (2)² - 8.1(2) - 3
∴ r(2) = -0.21(8) + (4) - 8.1(2) - 3
∴ r(2) = -1.68 + 4 - 16.2 - 3
∴ r(2) = -16.88
* r(-1) = 6.31 and r(2) = -16.88

which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x - 2y = -6 and passes through the point (5, -4) select all that apply
Answer:
the answers are A B AND D
Step-by-step explanation:
To find perpendicular lines you take the slope and change the sign and find the reciprocal. after doing that you set it up as a new equation that you will use to find b using the point.
in this case
y= - 2/5x +b
plug in the x and y values of the point (5, -4) to find b
b= -2
you put that together to get the equation
The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x - 2y = -6 and passes through the point (5, -4) is y = -0.4x - 2.
Explanation:The given equation is 5x - 2y = -6. First step is to convert this to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to find the slope. To do this, solve for y in terms of x, which looks like y = 2.5x + 3. The perpendicular line would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal this slope (m = -1/2.5 or -0.4).
Next, apply the point-slope formula (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the point that the line passes through. In this case, (x1, y1) is (5, -4), and slope m is -0.4. Then, y - (-4) = -0.4(x - 5), results to y + 4 = -0.4x + 2, finally gives y = -0.4x - 2 as the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 5x - 2y = -6 and passes through the point (5, -4).
