Question 1192994: the rational expression 2x^2 + 5x - 7/x + 2 is rewritten in the form rx + s + t/x+2, what is the value of t?
thank you if you do help!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
"t" is the REMAINDER of division the numerator polynomial (2x^2 + 5x - 7) by the denominator binomial (x+2).
So, according to the REMAINDER theorem, the remainder of such division is the value
of the polynomial (2x^2 + 5x - 7) at x= -2, which is
2*(-2)^2 + 5*(-2) - 7 = 2*4 - 10 - 7 = -9.
Thus t = -9. ANSWER
Solved and explained.

Hey, after the problem, you print " thank you if you do help!! ".
May I give an advise to you : write only " Thank you " and do not print the rest.
It will be much better.
Curved " thank you " does not look good . . .
