Possible roots are formed using the last term (12) of the given function and the 1st term (1) as your basis:

Since factors of 12 include plus or minus 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12,

possible rational roots include plus or minus 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 6,/1, 12/1 (and so on.)   I will take a chance and try the possible root 6/1, or just plain 6.

Use synthetic division, with 6 as the divisor and all of the coefficients of    <span>x^5+3x^4-5x^3-15x^2+4x+12   as dividend:
       ______________________
  6  /  1   3   -5   -15   4    12
               6  54
       --------------------------------
          1   9   49   This is not going to work; 6 is not a root.  

Try -3 as divisor:


        ___________________
</span>  -3  /  1   3   -5   -15   4    12
               -3    0     15  0   -12
       -------------------------- ------
          1    0   -5      0   4     0

Since the remainder is zero, x = -3 is a root of the given polynomial.  

Repeat this process, except skip x = -3 and x = 6 as divisors.

Use the coefficients    1   0   -5   0   4.  Note that plus or minus 4 over 1 forms other possible rational roots:  4/1, -4/1, 2/1, -2/1, 1, -1

Let's check out          
    ____________
1 /  1  0  -5  0   4
           1  1  -4    -4
--------------------------
      1   1  -4  -4    0
Thus, 1 is also a root of the polynomial, along with -3.

Repeat this process.  As divisors try 4/1, -4/1, 2/1, -2/1, -1

Can you now finish this factoring?

The 2 roots found so far are {1, -3}.

anygoal [31]
xy=-96\\&#10;x+y=20\\\\&#10;xy=-96\\&#10;x=20-y\\\\&#10;(20-y)y=-96\\&#10;20y-y^2=-96\\&#10;y^2-20y-96=0\\&#10;y^2-24y+4y-96=0\\&#10;y(y-24)+4(y-24)=0\\&#10;(y+4)(y-24)=0\\&#10;y=-4 \vee y=24\\\\&#10;x=20-(-4) \vee x=20-24\\&#10;x=24 \vee x=-4\\\\&#10;(x,y)\in\{(24,-4),(-4,24)\}

So these numbers are -4 and 24.

A collection of dimes and nickels is worth $8.40 there are 106 coins how many of each are there
kotegsom [21]
There are 62 dimes and 44 nickels.

N + D = 106 (There are 106 coins in all.)
1 nickel = 5 cents.
1 dime = 10 cents.
5*N + 10*D = 840 ($8.40 = 840 cents)
N + D = 106 -------(1)
N = (106 - D)
5*N + 10*D = 840 ---------(2)
5*(106-D) + 10*D = 840
530 - 5*D + 10*D = 840
5*D = 840 - 530
5*D = 310
D = 310/5 = 62
Eq(1) N + D = 106
N + 62 = 106
N = 106 - 62
N = 44

If l is Parallel to m, find the value of y
BARSIC [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

1st

8x-59 + 2x-11 = 180

10x -70 = 180

10x = 180 + 70

10x = 250

x = 25

2nd

8x - 59 = 15y + 6

8(25) -59 = 15y + 6

200 -59 = 15y + 6

141 = 15y + 6

15y + 6 = 141

15y = 141 - 6

15y = 135

y = 135/15

y = 9
