If g(x) = 2x2 + 6x + 5, use synthetic division to find g(-5).

=================================================

Explanation:

Check out the image below. I've posted the synthetic division table. The value at the very end of the bottom row is the remainder. By the remainder theorem, this is exactly the value of g(-5).

Recall the remainder theorem says: If you divide p(x) by (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). In this case, k = -5 is our test root which is the value placed in the box on the left.

As a way to check the answer, we can say

g(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 5

g(-5) = 2(-5)^2 + 6(-5) + 5

g(-5) = 25

So the answer is confirmed.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
