You can work this out with long division, by checking to see if (x2 - 1) is a factor of (2x4 + 4x3 - x2 + 4x - 3). It is. Unfortunately, the WikiAnswers system is somewhat limited in depicting things such as long division, so we won't be able to represent it here. In short though, (2x4 + 4x3 - x2 + 4x - 3) / (x2 + 1) is equal to 2x2 + 4x - 3. which means that: (x2 + 1) / (2x4 + 4x3 - x2 + 4x - 3) = (x2 + 1) / (x2 + 1)(2x2 + 4x - 3) = 1 / (2x2 + 4x - 3)
17 2x4=8+(3x3)=17 3x3=9 9+8=17
Well, honey, a standard ruler is typically 12 inches long, which is equivalent to 1 foot. So, an object that is 2 feet long would be something like a yardstick or a baseball bat. Just make sure you don't go around swinging that thing indoors, unless you're looking to redecorate with some broken vases.
