Some sums

1) If f(x) = x2 - x3
find f -1(x)

2) The remainder when the polynomial x+x3+x9+x27+x81+x243 is divided by x2 -1

3) If | x | + x + y =10
x + | y | - y =12

find x + y

1) Function is not invertible so the inverse cannot be found..

2) The remainder when the polynomial x+x3+x9+x27+x81+x243 is divided by x2 -1

x+x3+x9+x27+x81+x243 =g(x)(x2-1) + ax+b

Now x=1,

6=a+b

x=-1

-6=-a+b

so a=6 and b=0

Hence the remainder will be 6x

3) If | x | + x + y =10
x + | y | - y =12

find x + y

Here we look at 4 different quadrants...

in the first quadrant, |x|=x and |y|=y
so in the 1st quadrant.. 2x+y=10
x=12
so x+y=-2

Now can you try the other 3 quadrants?
