My pet snail is lost. It must have gotten out in the yard. I know that there are holes in the yard. Each hole is 5 1/2 inches deep. Each day the snail would be able to climb up 3 inches, but every night he falls back down 2 inches. How many days would it take the snail to get out of a hole? Show your work and explain your answer.

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

he has to make it 5 1/2 inches up and using the rule

3-2=1

4-2=2

5-2=3

6          he made it above 5 1/2 inches on  the 4th day

answer: a and b

step-by-step explanation:

(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
