... Start with the given inequality.


25m-5%28m%2B4%29%3E-8%28m-2%29 ... Distribute.


25m-5m-20%3E-8m%2B16 Distribute again.


20m-20%3E-8m%2B16 Combine like terms on the left side.


20m%3E-8m%2B16%2B20 Add 20 to both sides.


20m%2B8m%3E16%2B20 Add 8m to both sides.


28m%3E16%2B20 Combine like terms on the left side.


28m%3E36 Combine like terms on the right side.


m%3E%2836%29%2F%2828%29 Divide both sides by 28 to isolate m.


m%3E9%2F7 Reduce.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
0.3x-0.2y=4 Start with the first equation.


3x-2y=40 Multiply EVERY term by 10 to make every number a whole number.

--------------------------

0.2x%2B0.3y=5%2F23 Move onto the second equation.


23%280.2x%29%2B23%280.3y%29=cross%2823%29%285%2Fcross%2823%29%29 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 23 to clear out the fraction.


4.6x%2B6.9y=5 Multiply and simplify


46x%2B69y=50 Multiply EVERY term by 10 to make every number a whole number.


So we have the system of equations:

system%283x-2y=40%2C46x%2B69y=50%29


69%283x-2y%29=69%2840%29 Multiply the both sides of the first equation by 69.


207x-138y=2760 Distribute and multiply.


2%2846x%2B69y%29=2%2850%29 Multiply the both sides of the second equation by 2.


92x%2B138y=100 Distribute and multiply.


So we have the new system of equations:

system%28207x-138y=2760%2C92x%2B138y=100%29


Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:


%28207x-138y%29%2B%2892x%2B138y%29=%282760%29%2B%28100%29


%28207x%2B92x%29%2B%28-138y%2B138y%29=2760%2B100 Group like terms.


299x%2B0y=2860 Combine like terms.


299x=2860 Simplify.


x=%282860%29%2F%28299%29 Divide both sides by 299 to isolate x.


x=220%2F23 Reduce.


------------------------------------------------------------------


207x-138y=2760 Now go back to the first equation.


207%28220%2F23%29-138y=2760 Plug in x=220%2F23.


1980-138y=2760 Multiply.


-138y=2760-1980 Subtract 1980 from both sides.


-138y=780 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28780%29%2F%28-138%29 Divide both sides by -138 to isolate y.


y=-130%2F23 Reduce.

=========================================================================

Answer:


So the solutions are x=220%2F23 and y=-130%2F23


which form the ordered pair

Answer 145054 by jim_thompson5910(28550) About Me  on 2009-04-26 18:33:27 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Looking at the expression 2a%5E2%2B7a-4, we can see that the first coefficient is 2, the second coefficient is 7, and the last term is -4.


Now multiply the first coefficient 2 by the last term -4 to get %282%29%28-4%29=-8.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to -8 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient 7?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of -8 (the previous product).


Factors of -8:
1,2,4,8
-1,-2,-4,-8


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to -8.
1*(-8)
2*(-4)
(-1)*(8)
(-2)*(4)

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient 7:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
1-81+(-8)=-7
2-42+(-4)=-2
-18-1+8=7
-24-2+4=2



From the table, we can see that the two numbers -1 and 8 add to 7 (the middle coefficient).


So the two numbers -1 and 8 both multiply to -8 and add to 7


Now replace the middle term 7a with -a%2B8a. Remember, -1 and 8 add to 7. So this shows us that -a%2B8a=7a.


2a%5E2%2Bhighlight%28-a%2B8a%29-4 Replace the second term 7a with -a%2B8a.


%282a%5E2-a%29%2B%288a-4%29 Group the terms into two pairs.


a%282a-1%29%2B%288a-4%29 Factor out the GCF a from the first group.


a%282a-1%29%2B4%282a-1%29 Factor out 4 from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis.


%28a%2B4%29%282a-1%29 Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term 2a-1

---------------------------------------------


Answer:


So 2a%5E2%2B7a-4 factors to %28a%2B4%29%282a-1%29.


Note: you can check the answer by FOILing %28a%2B4%29%282a-1%29 to get 2a%5E2%2B7a-4 or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

Looking at y=%281%2F5%29x we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=1%2F5 and the y-intercept is b=0 note: y=%281%2F5%29x really looks like y=%281%2F5%29x%2B0


Since b=0 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 1%2F5, this means:

rise%2Frun=1%2F5


which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 5. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 5



So starting at , go up 1 unit


and to the right 5 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=%281%2F5%29x

So this is the graph of y=%281%2F5%29x through the points and

To find the tangent line, we need the slope of the tangent line. To find that, we first need the first derivative of "y":


... Start with the given equation.


... Derive both sides with respect to "x"


... Derive the left and right sides. Note: remember, y is a function of "x", so use the chain rule.


... Subtract 2x from both sides.


... Divide both sides by 2y.


... Reduce


So the slope of any tangent line at the point (x,y) (on the circle) is



Now just plug in the values x=-10 and y=-12 to find the tangent slope at (-10,-12):





... Reduce



So the slope of the tangent line is m=-5%2F6


Now let's find the equation of the line that has a slope of m=-5%2F6 and goes through (-10, -12):

If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of -5%2F6 which goes through the point (-10,-12), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:


---Point-Slope Formula---


y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where m is the slope, and is the given point


So lets use the Point-Slope Formula to find the equation of the line


y--12=%28-5%2F6%29%28x--10%29 Plug in m=-5%2F6, x%5B1%5D=-10, and y%5B1%5D=-12 (these values are given)


y%2B12=%28-5%2F6%29%28x--10%29 Rewrite y--12 as y%2B12


y%2B12=%28-5%2F6%29%28x%2B10%29 Rewrite x--10 as x%2B10


y%2B12=%28-5%2F6%29x%2B%28-5%2F6%29%2810%29 Distribute -5%2F6


y%2B12=%28-5%2F6%29x-25%2F3 Multiply -5%2F6 and 10 to get -25%2F3


y=%28-5%2F6%29x-25%2F3-12 Subtract 12 from both sides to isolate y


y=%28-5%2F6%29x-61%2F3 Combine like terms -25%2F3 and -12 to get -61%2F3


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:


So the equation of the tangent line is y=%28-5%2F6%29x-61%2F3

Here's some terminology:

Vertex: A point representing a location (city, town, etc...). In general, what the vertex represents isn't important.

Edge: A line connecting two vertices (plural for vertex)

Odd Vertex: A vertex with an odd number of edges connecting to it

Even Vertex: A vertex with an even number of edges connecting to it






So here's one way to draw the graph:

First, we need to find the length of diagonal:



If we cut the garden in half along the diagonal, we'll have this triangle set up (where "x" is the length of the diagonal):





Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 where "a" and "b" are the legs of a triangle and "c" is the hypotenuse.


Since the legs are 18 and 24 this means that a=18 and b=24


Also, since the hypotenuse is x, this means that c=x.


a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 Start with the Pythagorean theorem.


18%5E2%2B24%5E2=x%5E2 Plug in a=18, b=24, c=x


324%2B24%5E2=x%5E2 Square 18 to get 324.


324%2B576=x%5E2 Square 24 to get 576.


900=x%5E2 Combine like terms.


x%5E2=900 Rearrange the equation.


x=sqrt%28900%29 Take the square root of both sides. Note: only the positive square root is considered (since a negative length doesn't make sense).


x=30 Take the square root of 900 to get 30.



So the diagonal is 30 meters long.



Now just multiply the length of the diagonal by the cost per linear meter to get:

30%2A12=360


So it will cost $360 to build the diagonal walkway.

"Two angles are complimentary." translates to x%2By=90. Solve for "y" to get y=90-x



"The sum of the measure of the first angle and helf the second angle is 68 degrees." translates to x%2B%281%2F2%29y=68


x%2B%281%2F2%29y=68 Start with the second equation.


x%2B%281%2F2%29%2890-x%29=68 Plug in y=90-x


x%2B45-%281%2F2%29x=68 Distribute


x-%281%2F2%29x=68-45 Subtract 45 from both sides.


%281%2F2%29x=23 Combine like terms.


x=23%282%29 Multiply both sides by 2.


x=46 Multiply


------------------------


y=90-x Go back to the first equation


y=90-46 Plug in x=46


y=44 Subtract


So the solutions are x=46 and y=44 which means that the first and second angles are 46 and 44 degrees.

z%5E2%2Bz=5 Start with the given equation.


z%5E2%2Bz-5=0 Subtract 5 from both sides.


Notice we have a quadratic equation in the form of az%5E2%2Bbz%2Bc=0 where a=1, b=1, and c=-5


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for z


z+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F%282a%29 Start with the quadratic formula


z+=+%28-%281%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%281%29%5E2-4%281%29%28-5%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Plug in a=1, b=1, and c=-5


z+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+1-4%281%29%28-5%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Square 1 to get 1.


z+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+1--20+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Multiply 4%281%29%28-5%29 to get -20


z+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+1%2B20+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Rewrite sqrt%281--20%29 as sqrt%281%2B20%29


z+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+21+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Add 1 to 20 to get 21


z+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+21+%29%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.


z+=+%28-1%2Bsqrt%2821%29%29%2F%282%29 or z+=+%28-1-sqrt%2821%29%29%2F%282%29 Break up the expression.


So the answers are z+=+%28-1%2Bsqrt%2821%29%29%2F%282%29 or z+=+%28-1-sqrt%2821%29%29%2F%282%29


which approximate to z=1.791 or z=-2.791 (using a calculator)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

First, let's draw a picture:




We can see that a triangle forms where the legs are "x" and 32 ft with a hypotenuse of 80 ft. To find the unknown length of the leg "x", we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem


Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 where "a" and "b" are the legs of a triangle and "c" is the hypotenuse.


Since the legs are x and 32 this means that a=x and b=32


Also, since the hypotenuse is 80, this means that c=80.


a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 Start with the Pythagorean theorem.


x%5E2%2B32%5E2=80%5E2 Plug in a=x, b=32, c=80


x%5E2%2B1024=80%5E2 Square 32 to get 1024.


x%5E2%2B1024=6400 Square 80 to get 6400.


x%5E2=6400-1024 Subtract 1024 from both sides.


x%5E2=5376 Combine like terms.


x=sqrt%285376%29 Take the square root of both sides. Note: only the positive square root is considered (since a negative length doesn't make sense).


x=73.321 Evaluate the square root (using a calculator). Note: this value is approximate


Now round to the nearest whole number to get x=73


So the kite is about 73 ft above Mike's head.

Since the square root is really a "second root", this means that sqrt%28x%29=root%282%2Cx%29. Since the square root is so commonly used, we've dropped the 2 (as we know that we're dealing with a square root when no number is present)


So sqrt%2817%29=root%282%2C17%29


Now, recall that


In this case, x=17, m=1, and n=2. So...





We can simplify further to get

40x%5E2-48x-88 Start with the given expression


8%285x%5E2-6x-11%29 Factor out the GCF 8


Now let's focus on the inner expression 5x%5E2-6x-11




------------------------------------------------------------



Looking at 5x%5E2-6x-11 we can see that the first term is 5x%5E2 and the last term is -11 where the coefficients are 5 and -11 respectively.

Now multiply the first coefficient 5 and the last coefficient -11 to get -55. Now what two numbers multiply to -55 and add to the middle coefficient -6? Let's list all of the factors of -55:



Factors of -55:
1,5,11,55

-1,-5,-11,-55 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations

These factors pair up and multiply to -55
(1)*(-55)
(5)*(-11)
(-1)*(55)
(-5)*(11)

note: remember, the product of a negative and a positive number is a negative number


Now which of these pairs add to -6? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to -6

First NumberSecond NumberSum
1-551+(-55)=-54
5-115+(-11)=-6
-155-1+55=54
-511-5+11=6



From this list we can see that 5 and -11 add up to -6 and multiply to -55


Now looking at the expression 5x%5E2-6x-11, replace -6x with 5x%2B-11x (notice 5x%2B-11x adds up to -6x. So it is equivalent to -6x)

5x%5E2%2Bhighlight%285x%2B-11x%29%2B-11


Now let's factor 5x%5E2%2B5x-11x-11 by grouping:


%285x%5E2%2B5x%29%2B%28-11x-11%29 Group like terms


5x%28x%2B1%29-11%28x%2B1%29 Factor out the GCF of 5x out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of -11 out of the second group


%285x-11%29%28x%2B1%29 Since we have a common term of x%2B1, we can combine like terms

So 5x%5E2%2B5x-11x-11 factors to %285x-11%29%28x%2B1%29


So this also means that 5x%5E2-6x-11 factors to %285x-11%29%28x%2B1%29 (since 5x%5E2-6x-11 is equivalent to 5x%5E2%2B5x-11x-11)



------------------------------------------------------------




So our expression goes from 8%285x%5E2-6x-11%29 and factors further to 8%285x-11%29%28x%2B1%29


------------------
Answer:

So 40x%5E2-48x-88 completely factors to 8%285x-11%29%28x%2B1%29

A=P%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5E%28n%2At%29 Start with the compound interest formula


150000=P%281%2B0.055%2F365%29%5E%28365t%29 Plug in A=150000, r=0.055 (this is the decimal form of 5.5% interest), and n=365


150000=P%281%2B0.0001507%29%5E%28365t%29 Divide. Note: this value is approximate. So all future calculations will be approximate.


150000=P%281.0001507%29%5E%28365t%29 Add


150000%2F%281.0001507%29%5E%28365t%29=P Divide both sides by %281.0001507%29%5E%28365t%29 to isolate "P".


P=150000%2F%281.0001507%29%5E%28365t%29 Rearrange the equation



Now simply plug in the given values of "t" to find P:

t=1:

P=150000%2F%281.0001507%29%5E%28365t%29 Start with the given equation.


P=150000%2F%281.0001507%29%5E%28365%281%29%29 Plug in t=1


P=150000%2F%281.0001507%29%5E%28365%29 Multiply


P=150000%2F%281.0565420%29 Raise 1.0001507 to the 365th power to get 1.0565420


P=141972.5860 Divide


So if you want to have $150,000 in the account in 1 year, you need to invest about $141,972.59 in the account.



I'll let you do the other value of t (it will follow the same procedure).

Since you CANNOT divide by zero, this means that we must take out values of x out of the domain that make the denominator 2x%2B3 equal to zero


2x%2B3=0 Set the denominator equal to zero.


2x=0-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


2x=-3 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=-3%2F2 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


So when x=-3%2F2 the denominator 2x%2B3 is zero.


So we must make the restriction that x%3C%3E-3%2F2


So the domain is x can be any real number BUT x%3C%3E-3%2F2

I'm assuming that you want to solve for "x" right?



x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F%282a%29 Start with the quadratic formula

x+=+%283+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-3%29%5E2-4%282%29%282a%29+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Negate -3 to get 3.


x+=+%283+%2B-+sqrt%28+9-4%282%29%282a%29+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Square -3 to get 9.


x+=+%283+%2B-+sqrt%28+9-16a+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Multiply 4%282%29%282a%29 to get 16a


x+=+%283+%2B-+sqrt%28+9-16a+%29%29%2F%284%29 Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4


x+=+%283+%2B+sqrt%28+9-16a+%29%29%2F4 or x+=+%283+-+sqrt%28+9-16a+%29%29%2F4 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


So the solutions are x+=+%283+%2B+sqrt%28+9-16a+%29%29%2F4 or x+=+%283+-+sqrt%28+9-16a+%29%29%2F4


If we knew the value of "a", then we could continue simplifying.

Let's solve the first inequality %282x-3%29%2F6%3C=-9:


%282x-3%29%2F6%3C=-9 Start with the first inequality.


2x-3%3C=6%28-9%29 Multiply both sides by 6.


2x-3%3C=-54 Multiply.


2x%3C=-54%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


2x%3C=-51 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%28-51%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


---------------------------------------------------------------------


Now let's solve the second inequality %282x-3%29%2F6%3E=1:


%282x-3%29%2F6%3E=1 Start with the second inequality.


2x-3%3E=6%281%29 Multiply both sides by 6.


2x-3%3E=6 Multiply.


2x%3E=6%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


2x%3E=9 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E=%289%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


So our answer is x%3C=-51%2F2 or x%3E=9%2F2

# 1

To factor 6x%5E3+%2B+31x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+5, we can use synthetic division


First, let's find our test zero:

x%2B5=0 Set the given factor x%2B5 equal to zero

x=-5 Solve for x.

so our test zero is -5


Now set up the synthetic division table by placing the test zero in the upper left corner and placing the coefficients of 6x%5E3+%2B+31x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+5 to the right of the test zero.
-5|6314-5
|

Start by bringing down the leading coefficient (it is the coefficient with the highest exponent which is 6)
-5|6314-5
|
6

Multiply -5 by 6 and place the product (which is -30) right underneath the second coefficient (which is 31)
-5|6314-5
|-30
6

Add -30 and 31 to get 1. Place the sum right underneath -30.
-5|6314-5
|-30
61

Multiply -5 by 1 and place the product (which is -5) right underneath the third coefficient (which is 4)
-5|6314-5
|-30-5
61

Add -5 and 4 to get -1. Place the sum right underneath -5.
-5|6314-5
|-30-5
61-1

Multiply -5 by -1 and place the product (which is 5) right underneath the fourth coefficient (which is -5)
-5|6314-5
|-30-55
61-1

Add 5 and -5 to get 0. Place the sum right underneath 5.
-5|6314-5
|-30-55
61-10

Since the last column adds to zero, we have a remainder of zero. This means x%2B5 is a factor of 6x%5E3+%2B+31x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+5

Now lets look at the bottom row of coefficients:

The first 3 coefficients (6,1,-1) form the quotient

6x%5E2+%2B+x+-+1


So 6x%5E3+%2B+31x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+5 factors to %28x%2B5%29%286x%5E2+%2B+x+-+1%29


In other words, 6x%5E3+%2B+31x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+5=%28x%2B5%29%286x%5E2+%2B+x+-+1%29


I'll let you continue the factorization....






# 2


First lets find our test zero:

x%2B1=0 Set the denominator x%2B1 equal to zero

x=-1 Solve for x.

so our test zero is -1


Now set up the synthetic division table by placing the test zero in the upper left corner and placing the coefficients of x%5E4+-2x3+%2B+x%5E2+-4 to the right of the test zero.(note: remember if a polynomial goes from 1x%5E2 to -4x%5E0 there is a zero coefficient for x%5E1. This is simply because x%5E4+-+2x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+-+4 really looks like 1x%5E4%2B-2x%5E3%2B1x%5E2%2B0x%5E1%2B-4x%5E0
-1|1-210-4
|

Start by bringing down the leading coefficient (it is the coefficient with the highest exponent which is 1)
-1|1-210-4
|
1

Multiply -1 by 1 and place the product (which is -1) right underneath the second coefficient (which is -2)
-1|1-210-4
|-1
1

Add -1 and -2 to get -3. Place the sum right underneath -1.
-1|1-210-4
|-1
1-3

Multiply -1 by -3 and place the product (which is 3) right underneath the third coefficient (which is 1)
-1|1-210-4
|-13
1-3

Add 3 and 1 to get 4. Place the sum right underneath 3.
-1|1-210-4
|-13
1-34

Multiply -1 by 4 and place the product (which is -4) right underneath the fourth coefficient (which is 0)
-1|1-210-4
|-13-4
1-34

Add -4 and 0 to get -4. Place the sum right underneath -4.
-1|1-210-4
|-13-4
1-34-4

Multiply -1 by -4 and place the product (which is 4) right underneath the fifth coefficient (which is -4)
-1|1-210-4
|-13-44
1-34-4

Add 4 and -4 to get 0. Place the sum right underneath 4.
-1|1-210-4
|-13-44
1-34-40

Since the last column adds to zero, we have a remainder of zero. This means x%2B1 is a factor of x%5E4+-+2x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+-+4

Now lets look at the bottom row of coefficients:

The first 4 coefficients (1,-3,4,-4) form the quotient

x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4


So x%5E4+-+2x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+-+4 factors to %28x%2B1%29%28x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4%29


In other words, x%5E4+-+2x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+-+4=%28x%2B1%29%28x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4%29


Now let's use the factor x-2 to factor x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4


First lets find our test zero:

x-2=0 Set the denominator x-2 equal to zero

x=2 Solve for x.

so our test zero is 2


Now set up the synthetic division table by placing the test zero in the upper left corner and placing the coefficients of x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4 to the right of the test zero.
2|1-34-4
|

Start by bringing down the leading coefficient (it is the coefficient with the highest exponent which is 1)
2|1-34-4
|
1

Multiply 2 by 1 and place the product (which is 2) right underneath the second coefficient (which is -3)
2|1-34-4
|2
1

Add 2 and -3 to get -1. Place the sum right underneath 2.
2|1-34-4
|2
1-1

Multiply 2 by -1 and place the product (which is -2) right underneath the third coefficient (which is 4)
2|1-34-4
|2-2
1-1

Add -2 and 4 to get 2. Place the sum right underneath -2.
2|1-34-4
|2-2
1-12

Multiply 2 by 2 and place the product (which is 4) right underneath the fourth coefficient (which is -4)
2|1-34-4
|2-24
1-12

Add 4 and -4 to get 0. Place the sum right underneath 4.
2|1-34-4
|2-24
1-120

Since the last column adds to zero, we have a remainder of zero. This means x-2 is a factor of x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4

Now lets look at the bottom row of coefficients:

The first 3 coefficients (1,-1,2) form the quotient

x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2


So %28x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4%29%2F%28x-2%29=x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2


Basically x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4 factors to %28x-2%29%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29


So x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4=%28x-2%29%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29


This means that x%5E4+-+2x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+-+4=%28x%2B1%29%28x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+4%29 then becomes


x%5E4+-+2x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+-+4=%28x%2B1%29%28x-2%29%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29


So all you have to do now is factor x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2 (I'll let you do that)

1. Suppose you are in the market for a new home and are interested in a new housing community under construction in a different city.
a) The sales representative informs you that there are two floor plans still available, and that there are a total of 56 houses available. Use x to represent floor plan #1 and y to represent floor plan #2. Write an equation that illustrates the situation.
b) The sales representative later indicates that there are 3 times as many homes available with the second floor plan than the first. Write an equation that illustrates this situation. Use the same variables you used in part a.
c) Use the equations from part a and b of this exercise as a system of equations. Use substitution to determine how many of each type of floor plan is available. Describe the steps you used to solve the problem.
d) What are the intercepts of the equation from part a of this problem? What are the intercepts from part b of this problem? Where would the lines intersect if you solved the system by graphing?
Thank-you for any help you can be, I'd be grateful.
