Click here to see answer by CharlesG2(828)   Question 396190: I did the following problem by synthetic division. Since this problem is rather llloooonnnngggg, I decided I need to have someone double check this. Could a tutor please look this over and tell me if I've done this correctly? I would greatly appreciate it! Thx! Here is the problem: x^7+x^5-10x^3+12/ (x+2) Since the divisor isn't in "x-c" form, I had to alter that. Also, lots of terms were missing in this problem, so I had to alter that, too. (That is what made this problem looonnnggg!) After I altered it, the problem looked like this: x^7+0x^6+x^5+0x^4-10x^3+0x^2+0x+12 / (x-(-2)) My synthetic division went like this: -2_| 1 0 1 0 -10 0 0 12 -2 4 -10 20 -20 40 -80 _____________________________________ 1 -2 5 -10 10 -20 40 -68 as remainder So my answer is: x^6-2x^5+5x^4-10x^3+10x^2-20x+40-68/(x-(-2)) YIKES!! Ok, is this correct, or do I need to go back to the drawing board with this? Any help would be welcomed!!! Thank you!!

A population of deer in a state forest was rapidly decreasing due to over-hunting. To prevent further population decline, lawmakers enacted hunting restrictions. A biologist studying the deer found that, with the hunting restrictions in effect,t he growth of the deer population could be modeled by N= 0.6x^4-20x^3+225x^2-950x+2300 where N represents the number of deer and x represents the number of years the restrictions are in effect. Using this model, estimate what the deer population would be if the hunting restrictions were kept in effect for 15 years.
