@marziman

marziman · Answer

The solution I got was 0 = 0 after subtracting 6 from both sides

marziman · Answer

That's for statement 1 FYI

marziman · Answer

I can't solve for the other statements, sorry :(

rhondasommer · Answer

b-b-b- MARZIIIIII :(

marziman · Answer

xD

marziman · Answer

Do you have Kik by the way?

zepdrix · Answer

Statement 1 says that if you apply polynomial long division,$$\large\rm \frac{x^3-7x+6}{x+4}=x^2-4x+9+\frac{\color{indianred}{-30}}{x+4}$$the remainder is -30.

zepdrix · Answer

Statement 2 says that -4 is a root or zero of the polynomial,
$\large\rm f(-4)=0$

zepdrix · Answer

Statement 3 says that f(-4) gives us a remainder of -30 by the remainder theorem.

marziman · Answer

What exactly is it asking?  I assumed that we were to solve for each individually. Which is why I solved statement 1 fully.

zepdrix · Answer

It's asking "which statement is lying?"

marziman · Answer

I assumed that in the beginning but I was unsure. Thank you for the clarification.

marziman · Answer

Well we know Statement 1 is true.

rhondasommer · Answer

well... I guess im confused.

zepdrix · Answer

Still confused? :o

Statement 1 is saying that f(x) has a remainder of -30 when x+4 is divided out.
Statement 2 is saying that f(x) has a zero at x=-4, no remainder.
Statement 3 is saying that f(x) has a remainder of -30 at x=-4.

One of those statements ... is not like the others :O
