y= kx
k= y/x
k= -3/4
make the constant K the subject
<span>The word problem gives a rate of oil consumption at a rate of 25 gallons per 3 hours and 45 minutes. 3 hours and 45 minutes can be displayed as 3.75 hours. so you can say the generator consumes oil at a rate of 25 gallons per 3.75 hours. The following equation give you the oil consumption on a per hour basis; 25/3.75 and that gives you 6.67 gallons per hour. In 6 hours the generator will consume 40 gallons.</span>
If one of our zeros is 4, then the factor is x-4. If the second zero is 5i, then the conjugate root theorem says there HAS to be a root that is -5i. So our 3 factors are (x-4)(x+5i)(x-5i). We will FOIL out these factors to get the polynomial. Let's start with the ones that contain the imaginary numbers. Doing that mutliplication we get x^2-25i^2. i^2 is equal to -1, so what that expression simplifies down to is

. Now we will multiply in that last factor of (x-4):

. FOILing out we have

. There you go!
