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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

corret? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=k\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[k=(x+p)(x+q)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[k=(1)*(-5)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[k=(-1)(5)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k=-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx a lot @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks! @MARC_
