In a lab, a scientist is running an experiment on a
sample of radioactive particles. she observes that
each day, half of the current number of particles
disappears. if she wants to have 2 particles of the
original sample left on the 5th day, what is the
minimum number of particles she should start
with?

She should start with about 160 particles

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."
