Answer:
P(x) = 
- 7x² + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given zeros x = 2, x = - 2, x = 
, x = -
Then the factors are (x - 2), (x + 2), (x - ), (x + )
and the polynomial is the product of the factors, that is
P(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)(x - )(x + ) ← expand in pairs using FOIL
= (x² - 4)(x² - 3) ← distribute
= - 3x² - 4x² + 12 ← collect like terms
= - 7x² + 12

x-y=1
</span>2x+3y=7
x=1+y
2*(1+y)+3y=7
x=1+y
2+2y+3y=7
x=1+y
5y=5 |(:5)
x=1+y
y=1
x=2
CHECK:
2x+3y=7
x-y=1
2*2 + 3*1 = 7
x-y = 1
2-1 = 1
D. -2p + q - 5 - you have to multiply, then distribute parentheses and apply plus or minus rules.
