Explanation Given: x 4 − 3 x 2 + 10 x 2 − 2 Key concept applied: Step 1: Set up the long division. The divisor (what we are dividing by) goes on the outside of the box. The dividend (what we are dividing into) goes on the inside of the box. When you write out the dividend and divisor, make sure that you insert 0's for any missing terms. Step 2: Divide 1st term of divisor by first term of dividend to get first term of the quotient. The quotient (answer) is written above the division box. Make sure that you line up all terms of this step with the term of the dividend that has the same degree. Step 3: Take the term found in step 1 and multiply it times the divisor. Make sure that you line up all terms of this step with the term of the dividend that has the same degree. Step 4: Subtract this from the line above. Make sure that you subtract EVERY term found in step 3, not just the first one. Step 5: Repeat the process from step 1 to step 4 until done. That is till the degree of the subtracted term is less than the degree of the divisor. Step 6: Write out the answer. Your answer is the quotient that you ended up with on the top of the division box. If you have a remainder, write it over the divisor in your final answer. That is in the below format: D i v i d e n d D i v i s o r = Q u o t i e n t + Re m a i n d e r D i v i s o r (Or) D i v i d e n d = ( Q u o t i e n t ) ( D i v i s o r ) + Re m a i n d e r Formula used: D I V i d e n d = ( Q u o t i e n t ) ( D i v i s o r ) + Re m a i n d e r Calculation: Description x 4 − 3 x 2 + 10 x 2 − 2 Step 1: Set up the long division. The divisor (what we are dividing by) goes on the outside of the box. The dividend (what we are dividing into) goes on the inside of the box. When you write out the dividend and divisor, make sure that you insert 0's for any missing terms x 4 + 0 x 3 − 3 x 2 + 0 x + 10 x 2 − 2 Step 2: Divide 1st term of divisor by first term of dividend to get first term of the quotient. The quotient (answer) is written above the division box. Take the quotient and multiply it times the divisor. x 4 x 2 = x 2 x 2 ( x 2 + 0 x − 2 ) = x 4 + 0 x 3 − 2 x 2 Step 3: Write the result of multiplying quotient with divisor and place it under dividend. Make sure that you line up all terms of this step with the term of the dividend that has the same degree. x 2 x 2 + 0 x − 2 x 4 + 0 x 3 − 3 x 2 + 0 x + 10 x 4 + 0 x 3 − 2 x 2 Step 4: Subtract this from the line above. Make sure that you subtract EVERY term found in step 3, not just the first one. x 2 x 2 + 0 x − 2 x 4 + 0 x 3 − 3 x 2 + 0 x + 10 x 4 + 0 x 3 − 2 x 2 ( − ) ( − ) ( + ) _ − x 2 + 0 x + 10 Step 5: Repeat the process from step 2 to step 4 until done. That is till the degree of the subtracted term is less than the degree of the divisor Step 2: Divide 1st term of divisor by first term of dividend to get first term of the quotient. The quotient (answer) is written above the division box. Take the quotient and multiply it times the divisor. − x 2 x 2 = − 1 − 1 ( x 2 + 0 x − 2 ) = − x 2 + 0 x + 2 Step 3: Write the result of multiplying quotient with divisor and place it under dividend. Make sure that you line up all terms of this step with the term of the dividend that has the same degree. x 2 − 1 x 2 + 0 x − 2 x 4 + 0 x 3 − 3 x 2 + 0 x + 10 x 4 + 0 x 3 − 2 x 2 ( − ) ( − ) ( + ) _ − x 2 + 0 x + 10 − x 2 + 0 x + 2 Repeating Step 4: Subtract this from the line above

part 3 of the question is: A power outage occurs 6 min after the ride started. Passengers must wait for their cage to be manually cranked into the lowest position in order to exit the ride. Sine function model: where h is the height of the last passenger above the ground measured in feet and t is the time of operation of the ride in minutes. What is the height of the last passenger at the moment of the power outage? Verify your answer by evaluating the sine function model. Will the last passenger to board the ride need to wait in order to exit the ride? Explain.

2. The duration of the ride is 15 min. (a) How many times does the last passenger who boarded the ride make a complete loop on the Ferris wheel? (b) What is the position of that passenger when the ride ends?

3. A scientist recorded the movement of a pendulum for 10 s. The scientist began recording when the pendulum was at its resting position. The pendulum then moved right (positive displacement) and left (negative displacement) several times. The pendulum took 4 s to swing to the right and the left and then return to its resting position. The pendulum's furthest distance to either side was 6 in. Graph the function that represents the pendulum's displacement as a function of time. Answer: f(t) (a) Write an equation to represent the displacement of the pendulum as a function of time. (b) Graph the function. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 -1 -5. -6 -7 -8 -9 -10-
