X^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x = 0
x(x^3 + x^2 + x + 1) = 0
x[x^2(x + 1) + 1(x + 1)] = 0
x(x + 1)(x^2 + 1) = 0 ⇔ x = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x^2 + 1 = 0
x = 0 or x = -1 or x^2 = -1 -false
Answer: x= 0 or x = -1.
The equation of the parabola is
.. y = a(x +4)(x -2)
Substituting (x, y) = (6, 10) gives
.. 10 = a(6 +4)(6 -2)
The 4th selection is appropriate.
Well to find this its quite simple.
Just divide 200,000 by 100 to get the answer of:
2,000
