Use synthetic division to divide. Divisor \(x-6\) Dividend $$180 x-x^{4}$$
Use long division to divide. Divisor \(x^{3}-1\) Dividend $$x^{5}+7$$
Population The immigrant population \(P\) (in millions) living in the United States at the beginning of each decade from 1900 to 2000 is shown in the table. (Source: Center of Immigration Studies) $$ \begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Year } & 1900 & 1910 & 1920 & 1930 \\ \hline \text { Population, } P & 10.3 & 13.5 & 13.9 & 14.2 \\ \hline \end{array}\\\ &\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Year } & 1940 & 1950 & 1960 & 1970 \\ \hline \text { Population, } P & 11.6 & 10.3 & 9.7 & 9.6 \\ \hline \end{array}\\\ &\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Year } & 1980 & 1990 & 2000 \\ \hline \text { Population, } P & 14.1 & 19.8 & 30.0 \\ \hline \end{array} \end{aligned} $$ (a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. Let \(t=0\) correspond to 1900 . (b) Use what you know about end behavior and the scatter plot from part (a) to predict the sign of the leading coefficient of a cubic model for \(P\). (c) Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find a cubic model for \(P\). Does your model agree with your answer from part (b)? (d) Use a graphing utility to graph the model from part (c). Use the graph to predict the year in which the immigrant population will be about 45 million. Is your prediction reasonable?
Describe the right-hand and left-hand behavior of the graph of the polynomial function. $$f(x)=2 x^{5}-5 x+7.5$$
Use synthetic division to divide. Divisor \(x-6\) Dividend $$3 x^{3}-16 x^{2}-72$$
