5(y-4)=7(2y+1)I need the answer
1 answer:
Answer:
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right
<u>Add -14y to each side of the equation</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 5y + -14y = -9y </u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 14y + -14y = 0 </u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Add '20' to each side of the equation</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0 </u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 7 + 20 = 27 </u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Divide each side by -9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:
This is a third degree polynomial since we have 3 zeros. We find these zeros by factoring the given polynomial. The zeros of a polynomial are where the graph of the function goes through the x-axis (where y = 0). If x = -4, the factor that gives us this value is (x + 4) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -4. If x = -2, the factor that gives us that value is (x + 2) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -2. Same for the 5. The way we find the polynomial that gave us these zeros is to go backwards from the factors and FOIL them out. That means that we need to find the product of
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 5). Do the first 2 terms, then multiply in the third.
, which simplifies to
No we multiply in the final factor of (x - 5):
which simplifies to
If you are aware of the method for factoring higher degree polymomials, which is to use the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division, you will see that this factors to x = -4, -2, 5. If you know how to use your calculator, you will find the same zeros in your solving polynomials function in your apps.
