1. Find the numbers a, b, c such that 2x4 + 2x3 +5x2 + 3x + 3 = (x2 + x +1)(ax2+bx+c)
for all values of x.​

a = 2

b = 0

c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand correctly the problem should look like

2x⁴ + 2x³ + 5x² + 3x + 3 = (x² + x + 1)(ax² + bx + c)

let's calculate the right side

ax⁴ + ax³ + ax² + bx³ + bx² + bx + cx² + cx + c

as there is only one term of x⁴, we know a = 2

as there is only one term without any x, we know c = 3

now we get

2x⁴ + 2x³ + 2x² + bx³ + bx² + bx + 3x² + 3x + 3

remember, that is equal to

2x⁴ + 2x³ + 5x² + 3x + 3

after subtracting 2x⁴ and 3 from both sides we get

2x³ + 5x² + 3x = 2x³ + 2x² + bx³ + bx² + bx + 3x² + 3x

we subtract 2x³ and 3x from both sides and get

5x² = 2x² + bx³ + bx² + bx + 3x² = 5x² + bx³ + bx² + bx

we subtract 5x² from both sides and get

0 = bx³ + bx² + bx

=> b must be 0 to make this true for all values of x

(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

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
