MHB Factor and remainder theorem question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for help with a polynomial equation using the factor and remainder theorems. Participants emphasize the importance of showing effort when posting questions, as it aids in receiving effective assistance. The forum encourages users to post no more than two questions per thread and to ensure titles accurately reflect the content for better searchability. New users are reminded of the guidelines to enhance the forum's efficiency and usefulness. Overall, the focus is on fostering an active learning environment rather than providing direct solutions.

Q1.) Use the factor and remainder theorems to find solutions to:

$$1x^3+1x^2+-9x+D=0$$

Re: Please please help with these questions guys

You have posted a number of problems with NO effort of your own shown. Do you know what the "remainder theorem" and "factor theorem" are? The ones that ask you to use the remainder theorem require only simple integer arithmetic! Don't you realize that?

Hello and welcome to MHB, Jordan1994.

You originally posted 4 questions, 2 of them containing 3 parts in one thread. In order to make MHB more useful and efficient for everyone involved, we ask that no more than two questions be posted per thread in the initial post, and if any questions contain multiple parts, these should be posted alone in their own thread.

So, I have split your questions appropriately into their own threads. :D

The title of your original thread did not indicate the nature of the problems, but was something like "Please please help with these problems". We ask that when you post a question, that the title reflect what kind of question is being asked in the initial post. This makes it easier for our helpers to see what kind of questions are being asked without having to actually read the thread, and makes giving help more efficient, as well as making threads more useful in searches.

We also require that when a question is posted, work be shown so that our helpers know where you are stuck. We are here to help you work the problems yourself, not work them for you. You will gain much more by being an active participant in the process.

has posted statements in the new threads that address some of the same issues I have when reading the questions.

So, I encourage you to visit each of the new threads as well as this one, and post your work or thoughts on how to begin the problems, and we will be happy to assist you. (Star)

I know it may seem like I have given you a long list of grievances, but I hope you can see that our policies are designed to make MHB as useful as possible for everyone. This was your first post here, and we do not expect everyone to be familiar with all of our policies right from the beginning, so this is why I have explained them so you will know how to better follow the guidelines in the future and why they exist. The rules are not to discourage or restrict, they are to make MHB the best it can be. :D
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
