Simplify the following polynomial

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x^4 – 9x^3 + 7x – 1) + (-8x^4 + 4x^2 – 3x + 2) - (-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)

simplify multiplied terms

(-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)

(-4x^3+10x-8)

group like terms together

(5x^4-8x^4) + (-9x^3-4x^3) + (7x-3x+10x) + (-1+2-8)

simplify grouped terms

-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7

4/5 divided by 1/3 plus 1/5 minus 3/5

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

as

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:fractions\:}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}:\quad -\frac{2}{5}$

so

$=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}\right)}$

join $\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}:\quad -\frac{1}{15}$

so

$=\frac{4}{5\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=\frac{4}{-5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{4}{5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}5\cdot \frac{1}{15}\::\quad \frac{1}{3}$

so

$=-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\:\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}:\quad \frac{12}{1}$

so

$=-\frac{12}{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a$

$=-12$

Therefore

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$
