5x-2+3x=17+12x-23 combine like terms
8x-2=12x-6
-8x -8x
-2=4x-6
+6 +6
4=4x divide each side by 4
x=1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording on this is not the best. It sounds like the 1 zero has even multiplicity (that's because of where the modifier is). On top of that it has an odd power. You could try this. y =x*(x^2+1)^2
The problem is not with the power. It gives x^5. The problem is with the multiplicity of the one place where it crosses. (X^2 + 1) does factor, but it gives a complex root. I'm not sure that's allowed. However, it is the best I can do.
