Find the constant $t$ such that

\[(5x^2 - 6x + 7)(4x^2 +tx + 10) = 20x^4 -54x^3 +114x^2 -102x +70.\]

5x2 * tx + -6x * 4x2 = -54 x^3

5t - 24 = -54

5t = -30

t =-6

(5x2 - 6x + 7)(4x2 + tx + 10)

= 20x4 + 5tx3 + 50 x2 - 24x3 - 6tx2 - 60x + 28x2 + 7tx + 70
 

= 20x4 + (5t - 24)x3 + (78 - 6t)x2 + (7t - 60)x + 70

-54x3 = (5t - 24)x3
         
t = -6
 

114x2 = (78 - 6t)x2

        t = -6

 

-102x = (7t - 60)x

        t = -6

Don't you two realize that this child is blatently cheating.  She is not trying to learn anything.

By answering all her questions (often in full) you are condoning her behaviour.
