A boy standing on the shore of a lake 1 mile wide wants to reach the fast-food restaurant 3 miles down the shore on the opposite side of the lake. If he swims at 2 mph and walks at 4 mph, is it quicker for him to swim directly across the lake and walk to the restaurant or to swim directly to the restaurant? How much quicker? Explain.

=

x=0.8898305 is the answer to that equation

p(x)= 8 x³ - 36 x² + 54 x - 27

q(x) = 2 x -3

you can check your mistake and then you can choose the correct option.

dividend =   8 x³ - 36 x² + 54 x - 27

divisor = 2 x -3

if you want to find quotient, proceed as follows

q(x)= 0

2 x - 3=0

x =

now , i have used division method , to find quotient and remainder
