@satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5) 1 -8 16 -19 5 -15 5 1 -3 1 -14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DON'T FORGET TO HOLD THE PLACE!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what term is missing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 How does someone get an SS of 100? lol sorry I just wanna know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start at the dawn of time, then spend all waking hours here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe I will be there sometime! I'd be closer if I didn't keep procrastinating on my own studies! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i bet you can solve it now right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5) 1 -8 16 0 -19 5 -15 5 1 5 1 -3 1 5 -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks much much better!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okk Thankyou (: . Now how do i write it though ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have a polynomial of degree 4 divided by a polynomial of degree 1 what is the degree of your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you have the coefficients

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x^3+x^2-5x -4 ----- x – 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you forgot the first 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bottom row is 1 -3 1 5 -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^4 -3x^3+x^2-5x -4 ----- x – 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im getting confused :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

polynomial should be degree 3, not 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see the confusion you have a constant, and also a remainder the constant is the second to last number the remainder is the last number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last row is 1 -3 1 5 -4 try again, but this time start with \(x^3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 is the constant, no \(x\) there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3 -3x^2+x-5 -4 ----- x – 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tada!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omgg . YOu Great ! Thankyou !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

except...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 -3 1 5 -4 \[x^3-3x^2+x+5-\frac{4}{x-5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you had \(-5\) as the constant, but the bottom row had \(5\) not \(-5\) maybe it was a typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh yea sorry. your right. okk i have two more and then im done . im going to open them in a new thread. (;
