The long division below shows the first term of the quotient. which polynomial should be subtracted from the dividend first? mc003-1.jpg

Explanation:

when we divide polynomial  by  x+2

we will first consider polynomial  with  one degree less than the numerator that will  be and as when we multiply by x+2 by the rule of long division we get

Hence,  will be the first term we will divide from the dividend.

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
