The harbormaster decides how many trips the ferry needs to make for 37 cars. The ferry can carry 8 cars at a time. What is the best way to interpret the remainder of 37 ÷ 8 so that all cars can cross the harbor? * Ignore the remainder? Add 1 to the quotient? Just use the quotient? Just use the remainder?

By adding 1 to the quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Harbormaster needs to arrange tripe for 37 cars

in one go ferry can carry a maximum of 8 cars

trips = 37/8 = 4.625 trips

Since the ferry can't go in decimals so we need one more trip to carry all the cars. Hence the best way to interpret the remainder of 37/8 is by adding 1 to the quotient which will make 5 trips.

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."
