PLZZ HELP synthetic division is a shorthand method for long division; why don't we use it all of the time? Is there a similar method to get around the issue above, and how would that work?

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7  

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.

we would need a picture of the quadrilateral in order to answer the question. also, it seems that the question is missing some components.
