Luis counts the total number of ducks swimming on a pond each day. on monday he counts 1 duck. on tuesday he counts 2 ducks. on wednesday he counts 4 ducks. on thursday he counts 8 ducks. if the pattern continues how many ducks will luis count on saturday? and what is the pattern?

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."

answer: 1 and 3
