Question 1008048: If (mx^3-2x)(2x^2+3x-4)-(2x5+4x^4) is simplified to 4x^5+5x^4-16x^3-6x^2+8x how do I find the value of m? (mx^3-2x)(2x^2+3x-4)-(2x5+4x^4) is simplified to 4x^5+5x^4-16x^3-6x^2+8x Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For (mx^3-2x)(2x^2+3x-4)-(2x5+4x^4) to be equal to 4x^5+5x^4-16x^3-6x^2+8x,
then (mx^3)(2x^2)-2x^5 has to equal 4x^5, or
2m - 2 = 4
2m = 6
m = 3
