A new underground rollercoaster is being installed. The height of the rollercoaster in feet throughout the underground section is modeled by the equation h(d) = 0.15d2 – 1.5d, where d represents horizontal distance in feet. What's the height of the rollercoaster 6 feet horizontally through the underground section?

3.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rollercoaster in feet throughout the underground section is modeled by the equation :

....(1)

We need to find the height of the rollercoaster 6 feet horizontally through the underground section.

Put d = 6 feet in equation (1) as follows :

or

h = 3.6 feet

So, the height of the rollercoaster 6 feet horizontal through the underground section is 3.6 feet.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
