Question

what is r when 4x^3+2x^2-18x+38 divided by x+3

Answer 1

Perform a long division to find R

Answer 2

but what is r supposed to be? or do i just ignore it and divide those two ?

Answer 3

@iluvvyyhu , Did you mean this instead?
"what is x when 4x^3+2x^2-18x+38 divided by x+3"

Answer 4

no its r lol thats why im unsure

Answer 5

There is no r in the expression so it'd be either undefined or zero depending on conditions, @zepp , but I think you meant to say x in which case @zepp is correct and I'll leave this to him. :-)

Answer 7

You're certain it says r? And there's no additional information?

Answer 8

No, r is what's left when you perform the division

Answer 9

Like \(5 \div 2=2, ~~R=1\)

Answer 10

Ah r = remainder, not variable "r".

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

Might help to specify that in the future, I was reading too literally. :-P

Answer 13

ohhh my bad i didnt even know thats what they ment im sorry, but thanks(:

Answer 14

The remainder is simply what's left over @iluvvyyhu , divided by your divisor (what you're dividing by in the first place)

Answer 15

Yeah it helps to be precise around here @iluvvyyhu :-D Because there's a lot of crazy types of challenge question floating around here, somebody might just ask that. Especially with the people who ask for mathematical proofs and such.

Answer 16

Parenthesis around polynomial fractions, ^ symbols to denote exponents, that kind of thing. Here I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about from just a moment ago:

Answer 17

Here ya go @iluvvyyhu :
