-4 next to x value means the graph is moved 4 units to the right
+5 on the end of the function means the graph is moved up 5 units
P(x) = (x^2)(x - 4)^2(x + 4) + some constant(b)
2025 = (1^2)(1 - 4)^2(1 + 4) + b
2025 = 45 + b
b = 1980
Complete Equation:
p(x) = (x^2)(x - 4)^2(x +4) + 1980
or expanded form
p(x) = x^5 - 4x^4 - 16x^3 + 64x^2 + 1980
You're pretty much screwed
Another effective strategy for helping students improve their mathematics performance is related to solving word problems. More specifically, it involves teaching students how to identify word problem types based on a given problem’s underlying structure, or schema. Before learning about this strategy, however, it is helpful to understand why many students struggle with word problems in the first place.
Difficulty with Word Problems
Most students, especially those with mathematics difficulties and disabilities, have trouble solving word problems. This is in large part because word problems require students to:
