The ceiling of Stacy's living room is a square that is 25 ft long on each side. Stacy knows the diagonal of the ceiling from corner to corner must be longer than 25 ft, but she doesn't know how long it is. Solve for the length of the diagonal of Stacy's ceiling in two ways:

(a) Using the Pythagorean Theorem.

(b) Using trigonometry.

(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

answer: 5
