can someone check these .. Given a polynomial function P(x) and a value of x, you could possibly solve for x by: Select one: a. Synthetic Division. b. Substitution. ((Incorrect)) c. either A or B d. none of the above The difference between long division and synthetic division is: Select one: a. You subtract in long division and multiply in synthetic division. ((Incorrect)) b. You add in long division and subtract in synthetic division. c. You subtract in long division and add in synthetic division. d. none of the above
what a bunch of strangeo questions i think they want you to answer the last one by saying c. You subtract in long division and add in synthetic division.
i tnink
I know.. i dont know how to answer these
i have read 'Given a polynomial function P(x) and a value of x, you could possibly solve for x by:' four times, and and it makes no sense to me
if you are given x, you do not "solve for x"
maybe it means "solve for P(x)" is that possible?`
Possibly sometimes theres mistakes
Or solve for q (x) ?
if that is the case, you can go with C i.e. you can find P(x) using substitution or synthetic division it is a typo for sure
Okay and for the 1st one it's either a or d?
no no first one i think you are supposed to say C, but it makes no sense i mean the question makes no sense
I think it is trying to say "Given a polynomial function P(x) and a root of x" if that's the case, then you can use synthetic division to find Q(x) such that P(x) = (x-c)*Q(x) where x = c is the given root. The Q(x) can then be further factored or you can apply more rounds of division on it to find any other roots
could be, but i would not bet on it it doesn't say "a root of P" it says "given a value of x"
and in any case "a root of x" should just be " a root, x" or more reasonably, since x is the variable in P(x) it should be " a root r" i think it is just a garden variety typo, or some editing mistake
oh okay?
what about the 1st ine?
