Two families are going sailing. Family A leaves the marina and sails 2.3 miles due north, then sails 3 miles due west. Family B leaves the marina and sails 2.3 miles due south, then sails 3 miles in a direction 1° north of due east. Which family is farther from the marina? Explain your reasoning.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by drawing it out

Family B has part of their north-south direction negated by going 1 degree north of east, because they are going south and then going north. Family A does not do this, and as a result, with all else equal, they go further away.

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
