What is the first term of the quotient of the following division problem?
(x^3 – 1) ÷ (x + 2)
a. –0.5
b. 1
c. x^2
d. x^4

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^3-1) divide by x+2

Use long division

                 x^2 -2x

x+2          x^3 + 0x^2 +0x -1

               x^3 + 2x^2

              (subtract it)

                      - 2x^2 +0x - 1

                       -2x^2 - 4x

             (subtract)

                                   5x -1

So the first term is x^2

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
