Solve the simultaneous equations: (1) x^2 + y^2=41 and (2) y=2x-3

First we substitute one x or y into the other equation. The easiest one to put in in this case would be the y in equation (2). So putting the y into (1) you get x^2 + (2x-3)^2=41. Then we expand out the b...

let p be a polynomial p(x) = x^3+b*x^2+ c*x+24, where b and c are integers. Find a relation between b and c knowing that (x+2) divides p(x).

We know that (x+2) divides p(x), therefore p(x) can be written as p(x) = (x+2)q(x) + 0, where q is another polynomial of degree 2. We can calculate then p(-2): p(-2)= ((-2)+2)q(-2) = 0;p(-2)= (-2)...
