Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

In Exercises 102–103, perform the indicated operations. Assume that exponents represent whole numbers. 102. (x2n – 3x" + 5) + (4x2" – 3x" – 4) – (2x2 – 5x" – 3) 103. (y3n – 7y2n + 3) – (-3y3n – 2y2" – 1) + (6y3n – yn + 1) 104. From what polynomial must 4x? + 2x – 3 be subtracted to obtain 5x? – 5x + 8?

For Exercises 115–120, factor the expressions over the set of complex numbers. For assistance, consider these examples. • In Section R.3 we saw that some expressions factor over the set of integers. For example: x - 4 = (x + 2)(x – 2). • Some expressions factor over the set of irrational numbers. For example: - 5 = (x + V5)(x – V5). To factor an expression such as x + 4, we need to factor over the set of complex numbers. For example, verify that x + 4 = (x + 2i)(x – 2i). 115. а. х - 9 116. а. х? - 100 117. а. х - 64 b. x + 9 b. + 100 b. x + 64 118. а. х — 25 119. а. х— 3 120. а. х — 11 b. x + 25 b. x + 3 b. x + 11
