So when Helmholtz recognized that thought moves at a finite rate, faster than a bird but slower than sound, he missed a fundamental difference between the brain and a telegraph. In our heads, speed is not always the most important thing. Sometimes what really matters is timing.
A solution of a quadratic equation is a value of the variable that makes the equation true. Many quadratic equations. can be solved by factoring and using the zero-factor property. The Zero-Factor Property: When the product of two real numbers is 0, at least one of them is 0.
The remainder is zero, so the Factor Theorem says that: x + 4 is a factor of 5x4 + 16x3 15x2 + 8x + 16. In practice, the Factor Theorem is used when factoring polynomials completely. Rather than trying various factors by using long division, you will use synthetic division and the Factor Theorem.
