Title: so yeah um math question
Post by: anus on May 13, 2009, 05:31:33 PM
Can't figure this out.

Find f(x) if f(x) divided by x + 4 = 2x + 3 + -7/x + 4

I know that you need to do synthetic division, and I know that -7 is the remainder. Other than that, I'm stumped.

This is Algebra II.

plzhalpthnx

We did synthetic division earlier in the year, but i forgot.

No. Trying to find the main equation.

OMG LOL
f(x)/(x+4)=2x+3-7/(x+4)
solve for f(x)

i got 2x^2+11x+5

i dunno if this is correct baddood;

you do (x+4)(2x+3-7/(x+4))

because if dividing by x+4 gets you 2x+3-7/(x+4) then multiplying by x+4 would get you back to where you started

yeah
NEXT PROBLEM
f(x)/x-1000=ax^2+bx+C+5/(x-1000), where a, b and c are constants
What is f(1000)?

i integrated it and got 100esqrt(x+4) + c, now what?

Because the crap you're doing in the first post is crap you'll never need to know again. Forget it as soon as you can so you can store other useless things in your noggin.
