Find the value of p,of q and of k.
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please you have to solve the subsequent conditions:
\[0=(p-1)(q-1),0=(p+5)(q+5)\]
the first since point (-1,0) belongs to your function,
and the second, because point (5,0) also belongs to your function.
Please try tosolve those equations for p and q
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
p=1,q=1 and p=-5,q=-5 like this @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
sorry, I think no,
for example, from first condition I get p=1 and q can have any value
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
then I substitute p=1 into the second condition and I get 0=6*(q+5), from which q=-5
so the solution is:
p=1 and q=-5
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please note that you have only one function in your graph!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so your function is:
\[f(x)=(x+1)(x-5)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k=-5

corret? @Michele_Laino
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y=k\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[k=(x+p)(x+q)\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
\[k=(1)*(-5)\]

\[k=(-1)(5)\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
yes!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k=-5
