Is (x-1) a factor of x^100+4x^99+3? can you show steps

The answer is no because .

Step-by-step explanation:

If is a factor of , then .

Let's check.

Since , then is not a factor of .

======================================================

So anyways more on how this works:

If where is the remainder and is the quotient of the division, then multiplying both sides by gives .

We see that is a factor if the remainder is 0. (Just like we know 2 is a factor of 6 because when we divide 6 by 2 we get a remainder of 0.)

Anyways if we evaluate for we get:

So evaluating for will tell us the remainder of the quotient without actually performing division.

The remainder will tell us if is a factor of

If the remainder is 0, then the answer is yes.

If the remainder is not 0, then the answer is no.

(The question to be answer "Is this a factor of this?")

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
