y=0 or y=-5
thats if y2+5y=0

it depends, what does it equal?
does it equal x or 5, or what?
there's way too many variables for the equation, what are the instructions? are you trying to get an answer or a factor or what?
the only thing i can think of is y(y+5)

the derivative is 2y+5. does that help?

That's already simplified. if you factor it its y(y+5). But I can't think of any answer to your question unless you're plugging in a value.

You got it, and from that, y=0 or -5.
Unless you're in complex variables, then there are several more answers in the imaginary plane.

solving rational equations
i gotta find the lcd with the denomonators being:
y2+5y
y+5
and..
y.
so what would the lcd be

lowest common denominator?
I would leave it as y(y+5)
Thats about as far as you can go.

wait, you mean there's three different denominators? that doesn't make sense...
then what's the numerator?
you must not be giving us all the information...

Not quite that simple.
Have you taken a class on complex variables? I'm not talking about when they introduce the topic of sqrt(-1) in Algebra 2, I'm talking about a college course on the complex domain.

if you have all those in the denominator, you would multiply each by each other to get the LCD.
so your LCD would be (y2+5y)(y+5)(y)

3y+5 over y2+5y + y+4 over y+5 = y+1 over y
solve the rational equation
Note: i dont know how to make fractions on here so i just used the word "over" as the fraction bar

(mathy shit)/(more mathy shit) is how I normally do fractions.

your LCD would be
(y^2+5y)(y+5)(y)
the '^ sign' implies that the y is raised to a power.
You multiply the LCD by each fraction and do the appropriate cancellation.
Eventually you will get
(3y+5)(y^2+5y) + (y+4)(y^3+5y) = (y+1)(y^3+10y^2+25y)
=
(3y^3+20y^2+25y) + (y^4+5y^2+4y^3+20y) = (y+1)(y^3+10y^2+25y)
then
y^4 + 7y^3 + 25y^2 + 45y = (y+1)(y^3+10y^2+25y)
then
(y^4 + 11y^3 +35y^2 +25y) = (y^4 + 7y^3 + 25y^2 + 45y)
so the statement is not true.
unless i did some thang wrong.
or you could move the right side to the left side and set it equal to zero.
or
(4y^3+10y^2) = 20
y = -10 - y^2 ALL over 4
I could be wrong. how about you give it a try and see what you come up with.
