Explanation Given: The polynomial is, P ( x ) = x 4 − 6 x 3 + x − 2 and the divisor is d ( x ) = x − 1 . Procedure used: Long division method: Step 1: Ensure that the polynomial is written in the descending order with respect to its degree and if any terms are missing in the order, add the terms with the coefficient zero. Step 2: Divide the highest-degree term of the dividend by the highest-degree term of the divisor and align the like terms vertically. Step 3: Multiply the divisor and the answer obtained in the step 2. Step 4: Subtract the product obtained in step 3 from the dividend and bring down the next term. Step 5: Continue the above steps 1 to 4 until there are no terms left to bring down. Calculation: Divide the polynomial P ( x ) = x 4 − 6 x 3 + x − 2 by d ( x ) = x − 1 . Write 0 as coefficient for missing terms x 2 , the given polynomial x 4 − 6 x 3 + x − 2 becomes x 4 − 6 x 3 + 0 x 2 + x − 2 . Use the above procedure to find the quotient of the given expression. x − 1 x 3 − 5 x 2 − 5 x − 4 x 4 − 6 x 3 + 0 x 2 + x − 2 x 4 − x 3 _ − 5 x 3 + 0 x 2 − 5 x 3 + 5 x 2 _ − 5 x 2 + x − 5 x 2 + 5 x _ − 4 x − 2

Rate of Change

The relation between two quantities which displays how much greater one quantity is than another is called ratio.

Slope

The change in the vertical distances is known as the rise and the change in the horizontal distances is known as the run. So, the rise divided by run is nothing but a slope value. It is calculated with simple algebraic equations as:

5) You are purchasing a game for $30. You have a 5% off coupon and sales tax is 5%. What will your final price be? Does it matter if you take off the coupon first or add in the tax first? 6) You have ten coupons that allow you to take 10% off the sales price of a jacket, and for some strange reason, the store is going to allow you to use all ten coupons! Does this mean you get the jacket for free? Let's really think about what would happen at the checkout. First, the teller would scan the price tag on the jacket, and the computer would show the price is $100. After the teller scans the first coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $100, and show the price is $90. (Right? Think about why this is.) Then after the teller scans the second coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $90. (a) Continue this reasoning to fill in the table below showing the price of the jacket (y) after you apply x coupons. (b) Make a graph showing the price of the jacket from x = 0 to x = 10 coupons applied.…
