by what percentage will the population have increased after 27 years? (give your answer correct to at least two decimal places.) %
by what percentage does the growth rate of the city increase over a 12 year period? (give your answer correct to at least two decimal places.) %
at what rate would the be population growing when there are two hundred thousand people living in the city? (give your answer correct to the nearest integer.) people per year.
at what rate will the population be growing 2 years later? (give your answer correct to the nearest integer.) people per year.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
