Answer:
x = -2, -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x)=ax^4/5 + x^3/3 -2x^2/5 + bx/7 -1
q(x)= x^4/5 + x^3/4 -1/3 x^2 +1/2 x + 3
Difference =
(a-1)x^4/5 - x^3/12 - 1/3x^2/ 5 + (b - 7/2) x / 7 - 4
h(x) =1/5 x^4 + 1/12x^3 - 1/15 x^2 + 5/14 x - C
Comparing coefficients:
(a - 1)/5 = 1/ 5
---> a = 2
(b - 7/2)/7 = 5/14
--> 2(b - 7/2) = 5
--> b - 7/2 = 5/2
--> b = 6
C = 4
So we have the equation
2x^2 + 6x + 4 = 0
--> x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0
--> (x + 1)(x + 2) = 0
---> x = -2, -1.
