00:24

holiday in the alps Otherwise it would be here too

00:27

so notice that the only thing we need to find

00:29

here is see the constant term so you have to

Save some time on these tests you'll need it Just

00:37

multiply five by negative twenty four here and negative three

00:41

by negative fifty six that'll do the trick and that

00:44

gets you a negative one twenty plus one sixty eight

00:47
