2. Evaluate the polynomial two ways: by substituting in the given value of x, and by using long division.
Find P(-3)for P(x)= 4x2 +10x - 8.

  P(-3) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution

P(-3) = 4(-3)^2 +10(-3) -8 = 36 -30 -8

P(-3) = -2

__

Long Division

See the working below. The remainder is -2, so ...

  P(-3) = -2

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
