#25 is the 1st one i think.

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

thanks. better than nothing

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

i see ?????s is that right?

OpenStudy (anx):

but you should get -2,1, if not we can walk through it.

OpenStudy (anx):

Is it still showing that? Ill retype it. gimme a sec, tried copy and pasting to fix an math error.

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

yeah i have it. thanks 25?

OpenStudy (anx):

#24 Use the rational number test \[x^4+5x^3+7x^2-3x-10=0\] find the factors of 10 so \[1,2,5,10\] so that means \[\pm 1,2,5,10 \over 1\] over 1 because the first coeffecient is 1 so that means all your possible zeros are at \[-10,-5,-2,-1,1,2,5,10\] just plug each value into the original function and you should get the answer, I got -2,1 so try it and if you get something else we'll figure it out

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

there it! thanks

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

yeah i have -2, 1

OpenStudy (anx):

I'm working out #2, i have the answer gimme a sec to post proof.

OpenStudy (anx):

#25 Find the zeroes of \[12x^2-64 = -x^4\] add \[-x^4\] to both sides so then you have \[x^4-12x-64=0\] then factor \[x^2+12y-64=0\] into \[(y-4)(y+16)=0\] Then you have \[x-4 =0 \] and \[x+16 =0\] add 4 on the x-4 and you get \[x^2 =4\] same for the +16 \[x^2=-16\] take the square of both sides and you get \[\pm 2 \] and \[\pm4i\]

OpenStudy (anx):

Sorry about the wait, equation writer didn't want to work with me.

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anx):

did you get #26 yet?

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

nope

OpenStudy (anx):

#26 \[(a+b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n}\left(\begin{matrix}n \\ k\end{matrix}\right) a ^{n-k}b^k\] thats the formula to use..do you understand how it works?

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

so its C?

OpenStudy (anx):

Yes.

OpenStudy (finallyausername):

ok thank you so much! can you help me with more? i will open the next question on another post

OpenStudy (anx):

As long as its not too much more.
