Step 1 is to find how far apart W and Y are:
-7 - (-31) = 24
Now find 1/8 of that distance: 1/8 • 24 = 3
Now move 3 units from -31 towards -7: -31 + 3 = -28
2 times 2=4
multiply first equation by 2 to get
-4x+6y=12
then add to get
-4x+6y=12
<u>4x-2y=8 +</u>
0x+4y=20
4y=20
y=5
sub back
-2x+3y=6
-2x+3(5)=6
-2x+15=6
-2x=-9
x=9/2=4.5
the number to multiply by is 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.
f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26
f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26
f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26
f(1) = 26 - 26
f(1) = 0
=========================
next perform a long division
x -1 || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26
2x^3 - 2x^2
===========
-12x^2 + 28x
-12x^2 +12x
==========
26x -26
26x - 26
========
0
Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26
2(x^2 - 6x + 13)
The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16
So you are going to get a complex result.
x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)
=============
2
x = 3 +/- 2i
f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)
The zeros are
1
3 +/- 2i
