If x=-5 is a zero, then the first factor of the polynomial would be (x + 5 )
To find the other two factors we can divide the polynomial by the expression (x+5).
Using synthetic division, we have:
-5 I 4 15 -24 5 (Coefficients of the dividend)
I -20 25 -5 (Multiplying each coefficient by the results of the substraction and adding)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 -5 1 0 (Coefficients of the quotient)
The result of the division is 4x^2 - 5x + 1. Factoring it, we have:
4x^2 - 4x -x + 1 (Separating -5x into -x and -4x)
4x (x - 1) - (x -1) (Factoring each pair of terms)
(x-1)(4x-1) (Factoring using the common factor)
So the answer would be:
(x + 5 )(x-1)(4x-1)
Answer:
y=4/5x
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
plug in y and x into each equation and solve!
4=5m+b
8=10m+b
4=5m
m=4/5
b=0
y=4/5x+0

Step-by-step explanation:
P = 5x
P = 5(3) = 15
Answer:
(2,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure if you meant the first equation to be y or -y. I solved it as y.
y = x-5 -x -3y =7
I am going to take the second equation and write it as x =
-x - 3y = 7 Give equation
-x = 3y +7 Add 3y to both sides
x = -3y-7 Multiplied each term in the equation by -1 so that x could be positive
I am going to substitute -3y-7 for x in the first equation up above
y = x - 5
y = -3y -7 - 5 Substitute -3y-7 for x
y = -3y -12 Combined -7-5
4y = -12 Added 3y to both sides
y = -3 Divided both sides by 4.
I now know that y is -3, I will plug that into x = -3y-7 to solve for x
x = -3(-3) -7
x = 9-7 A negative times a negative is a positive
x = 2
