Answer 2

so then how am i supposed to finish this question

Answer 3

there are no solutions

Answer 4

you say there is (no solution)

Answer 5

there has to be because it wont accept no solution or zero as an answer the original problem is
Write the function in factored form check by multiplication y=-4x^3-4x^2+120x

Answer 6

the final answer its saying should look like y=-4x(x+?)(x-?)

Answer 7

what was your work to factor the problem

Answer 8

Idk i jusr crumpled up the paper and threw it math is pissing me off today

Answer 9

taking out a -4x, we get y=-4x(x^2+x-30). if you are setting y=0, then either x=0 or (-=x^2+x-30)=0. In which case we need something that when multiplied gets -30 and added gets 1, which would be -5 and 6. y=-4x(x-5)(x+6)

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

thanks
