How do you solve linear equations by subsitutions

1 answer:

5 0

1) First, solve one linear equation for y in terms of x .

2) Then substitute that expression for y in the other linear equation.

3)Solve this, and you have the x -coordinate of the intersection.

4)Then plug in x to either equation to find the corresponding y -coordinate.

2. Factor f(x) = x4 + 10x3 + 35x2 + 50x + 24 completely showing all work and steps with synthetic division. Then sketch the grap

We need to use rational root theorem to find out roots here.

The rational root theorem states that if p(x) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and if $\frac{p}{q}$ is a zero of p(x) then p is a factor of constant term and q is a factor of leasing term coefficient.

Here factors of constant term are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-8,-12, and -24.

And factors of leading coefficient is -1,1.

Hence possible roots may be -1,1,-2,2,-3,3,-4,4,-6,6,-8,8,-12,12,-24 and 24.

Let us plugin these in f(x) to find zeroes.

$f(-1)=(-1)^{4}+10(-1)^{3}+35(-1)^{2}+50(-1)+24 =1-10+35-50+24=0$

Hence x=-1 is a zero which means x-(-1)=x+1 is a factor.

Let us use synthetic division to find quotient.

-1 | 1 10 35 50 24

| 0 -1 -9 -26 -24

1 9 26 24 0

Hence quotient is $x^{3} +9x^{2} +26x+24$

Since all coefficients are positive, root must be negative. Let's plugin all remaining negative numbers in the quotient.

$(-2)^{3}+9(-2)^{2}+26(-2)+24 = 0$

Hence x+2 is another factor.

Let us find quotient again using synthetic division.

-2 | 1 9 26 24

| 0 -2 -14 -24

1 7 12 0

Hence quotient is $x^{2} +7x+12$

Again we got quotient with all positive coefficients, let us plugin remaining negative numbers from rational root theorem.

$(-3)^{2}+7(-3)+12=-9-21+12=0$

Hence x+3 is also a factor.

Let us find quotient using synthetic division.

-3 | 1 7 12

| 0 -3 -12

1 4 0

Hence quotient is x+4.

So, $f(x)=x^{4}+10x^{3}+35x^{2}+50x+24 =(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)(x+4)$

Please have a look at the graph attached.

Write a polynomial equation of least degree with roots 2, -1 and 4.

Rasek [7]

A polynomial with roots a and b is (x - a)(x - b).

(x - 2)(x - (-1))(x - 4) = 0

(x - 2)(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0

has roots 2, -1, and 4.
