This is my question~~ ( r ^ 4 - 2r ^ 3 - 23 r ^ 2 - 4r - 32)÷(r+4) ~~ i must use long division to solve it : / i was wondering if anyone world like to solve it. and if so, share step-by-step explanations! you! ❤

In one day there are too high tides into low tides and equally spaced intervals the high tide is observed to be 6 feet above the average sea level after six hours passed a low tide occurs at 6 feet below the average sea level in this task you will model this occurrence using a trigonometric function by using x as a measurement of time assume the first high tide occurs at x=0. a. what are the independent and dependent variables? b. determine these key features of the function that models the tide: 1.amplitude 2.period 3.frequency 4.midline 5.vertical shift 6.phase shift c. create a trigonometric function that models the ocean tide for a period of 12 hours. d. what is the height of the tide after 93 hours?

Ian is in training for a national hot dog eating contest on the 4th of july. on his first day of training, he eats 4 hot dogs. each day, he plans to eat 110% of the number of hot dogs he ate the previous day. write an explicit formula that could be used to find the number of hot dogs ian will eat on any particular day.
