An electrician cut 36 feet of wire into sections that were each 8 feet long. after cutting, how many pieces of wire did the contractor have?

divide 36 by 8

36 / 8 = 4.5

 so he had 4 pieces that were 8 feet long and he had 1 piece 4 feet long

 so he had 5 pieces of wire

the answer to the question is a  

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

(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
