Question 523017
1. Multiply and Simplify 
4y^2/(5y^2-40y+80) * (5y-20)/2y 
-------------
= (4y^2)/[5(y-4)^2] * (5(y-4))/(2y)
----
Cancel where you can to get:
= (2y)/(y-4)
======================================

2. Multiply 
(8x+6)(5x^2+5x+8)
----
= (8x)(5x^2+5x+8) + 6(5x^2+5x+8)
----
= 40x^3+40x^2+64x + 30x^2+30x+48
----
= 40x^3+70x^2+94x+48
======================================
 
3. Evaluate the Polynomial for x=6 
2x^2-5x+7= 2(36)-5(6)+7 = 72-30+7 = 49
=========================================== 
4. Solve. 
(x+19)(x-2)(x+10)>0
Draw a number line.
Plot x = -19 ; x = -10 ; x = 2
Test a value in each of the 4 intervals to see where the solutions are.
(x+19)(x-2)(x+10)>0
--
Test x = -25 to get: -*-*- > 0; false
Test x = -15 to get: +*-*- > 0; true so solutions in(-19,-10)
Test x = 0 to get:: +*-*+ > 0; false
Test x = 5 to get:: +*+*+ > 0; true so solutions in (2,+oo)
---
Solution: {x | -19< x < -10 or 2< x <+oo}
==============================================
