Please write this all on one line:  y = 4x^2 - 4x^3 + x^4 + 3 + 7x, and not vertically (as you have done).  Note how I have used " ^ " to denote exponentiation.

We need to re arrange these terms in descending order by power of x:

y = 4x^2 - 4x^3 + x^4 + 3 + 7x  =>  y = x^4 - 4x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x + 3.

We are to evaluate this polynomial for x = -4.  Either replace each instance of x by -4 or use synthetic division (the remainder is the value of the polynomial at the given x-value.

At x = -4, we have y = (-4)^4 - 4(-4)^3 + 4(-4)^2 + 7(-4) + 3, or

                               y = 256 - 256 + 64 - 28 + 3, or 39 (answer)

the answer is 3/5

step-by-step explanation:

first divide 24 divided by 8 because that is the least common multiple

then divide 40 by 8

then you will get 3/5.
