4 Solve Using Synthetic
X^3 - 12x^2 + 12x + 80 = 0

x^3 - 3x^2 - 3x + 9 + (-36/(x+3))

OR

x^3 - 3x^2 - 3x + 9 - (36/(x+3))

Step-by-step explanation:

First set the divisor equal to 0:

x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides

x = -3

This is what you'll divide the dividend by in synthetic division.

Take the coefficents of each term in the dividend. Do not forget the 0 placeholders:

x^4 + 0x^3 - 12x^2 + 0x -9

Coefficents: 1. 0.  -12. 0 -9.

Please see the image for the next steps.

The remainder is -36. Put the remainder over the divisor and add it to the polynomial (shown in image)

-36/(x+3)

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
