I don't like dividing polynomials so I'm going to set x=1 and try them out.
(1-2-14+3)/4 = -3
Of the choices, only D gives -3 when x=1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's as much test-taking as math. If we were to divide
x^2 - 5x + 1
-------------------------------
x + 3 | x^3 - 2x^2 - 14x + 3
x^3 + 3x^2
-5x^2 - 14x
5x^2 + 15x
x + 3
x + 3
More work, still choice D
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 6 * 10^(-6)
Discussion:
0.000006 = 6 * ( .000001) = 6 * 10^(-6)

It belongs to the set of real numbers
and as it can be written as a fraction then it is also a rational number.
Answer:
B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 is correct.
Step 2.
-9.2 >= x
Subtract x from both sides.
-x - 9.2 >= 0
Add 9.2 to both sides.
-x >= 9.2
Divide both sides by -1. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality, the inequality sign changes direction.
x <= -9.2
The first error is in Step 2.
