If 4f(x)+f(5-x)=x2 What is f(x)?

We are given that 4f(x)+f(5-x)=x^2.

Substitute x with 5-x, then the above equation becomes:

4f(5-x)+f(5-(5-x))=(5-x)^2, that is

4f(5-x)+f(x)=(5-x)^2


So, we have the following system of equations:

i) 4f(x)+f(5-x)=x^2
ii) 4f(5-x)+f(x)=(5-x)^2

multiply the first equation by -4, so that we eliminate f(5-x)'s

i) -16f(x)-4f(5-x)=-4x^2
ii) 4f(5-x)+f(x)=(5-x)^2

adding the 2 equations side by side we have:

-15f(x)=-4x^2+(5-x)^2

expanding the binomial, and collecting same terms we have:

-15f(x)=-4x^2+(25-10x+x^2)

-15f(x)=-3x^2-10x+25

dividing by -5:

3f(x)=\frac{3}{5}x^2+2x-5

dividing by 3:

\displaystyle{f(x)= \frac{1}{5}x^2+ \frac{2}{3}x-\frac{5}{3}


Answer: \displaystyle{f(x)= \frac{1}{5}x^2+ \frac{2}{3}x-\frac{5}{3}

Factor the following polynomial completely.<br><br> 6x^5-30x^4-84x^3
Lerok [7]

6x^5 - 30x^4 - 84x^3

we can factor out 6x^3

6x^3(x^2 - 5x - 14)

Also, we can factor x - 7 and x + 2 out of x^2 - 5x - 14

The final answer = 6x^3(x - 7)(x  + 2)

Multiply.<br> (x-6)(4x + 3)
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Fully simplified it equals 4x^2 -21x -18

Explanation:

-You need to distribute the x to all of the terms in the second binomial and you also need to distribute -6 to all the terms in the second binommial giving you 4x^2 +3x - 24 -18

-You combine like terms to simplify and your answer is 4x^2 -21x -18
