Explanation Given: The polynomial is P ( x ) = x 3 − 8 . The divisor is d ( x ) = x + 2 . 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 co-efficient 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 x 3 − 8 by x + 2 . Write 0 as coefficient for missing terms x 2 and x , the given polynomial x 3 − 8 becomes x 3 + 0 x 2 + 0 x − 8 . Use the above procedure to find the quotient of the given expression. x + 2 x 2 − 2 x + 4 x 3 + 0 x 2 + 0 x − 8 x 3 + 2 x 2 _ − 2 x 2 + 0 x − 2 x 2 − 4 x _ 4 x − 8 4 x + 8 _

Minimization

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Amy and Samiha have a hat that contains two playing cards, one ace and one king. They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king. Who is correct?
