Trina's toy company charges $0.85 per pound to ship toys.

part a: write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of toys. use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of toys.

part b: if the company reduces the cost to ship toys by 0.05 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of toys with the reduced cost.

i mainly don't understand part b- but i need explanation for part a still.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
