help please! by what fraction would you multiply 8 1/2 so that the proudct is about 5 explain your reasiong

9514 1404 393

  5/8 or 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction will be exactly ...

  5/(8 1/2) = 10/17   ⇒   (8 1/2)×(10/17) = 5

__

The fraction will be approximately ...

  5/8 or 5/9

The denominator will be a number that makes (8 1/2)/(denominator) ≈ 1. For that denominator, the numerator will be 5, so that we have ...

  (8 1/2) × (5/denominator) ≈ 5

  (8 1/2)/(denominator) ≈ 1 .  . . . . . . . divide by 5

If we want the denominator to be an integer, we could choose either 8 or 9. If we choose 8, the result will be slightly more than 5; if we choose 9, the result will be slightly less.

  (8 1/2) × (5/8) = 5.3125 ≈ 5

  (8 1/2) × (5/9) = 4.722... ≈ 5

Either 5/8 or 5/9 will give a product of about 5.

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
