If an item tends to be very expensive to repair, how might that affect your decision to purchase a warranty for it?
a. if an item is very expensive to repair, it is probably easier to buy a new one than to repair it, so a warranty is probably not worth it.
b. the price of a warranty is based on the price of the repairs, so a warranty might not be a good idea.
c. buying an extended warranty might be a good idea so that you do not have to repair the item yourself.
d. buying a limited warranty might be a good idea because limited warranties sometimes do not deal with repairs, meaning that you will not have to handle these expensive repairs.

The correct answer is:

C) buying an extended warranty might be a good idea so that you do not have to repair the item yourself.

Explanation:

An extended warranty covers repairs that are not covered under the original manufacturer's warranty.  This means that if you have an expensive item that breaks down after the original warranty, an extended warranty will cover some, if not all, of the cost of repairs.

(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
