\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{1) \  2x^3-7x^2+8x-3=0 } \end{gathered}$}

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:

  | 2  -7    8  -3

<u>1 |      2   -5   3</u>

  | 2   -5    3  0

<u> 1 |      2     -3   </u>

    2   -3     0

So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:

                     \bf{ x_1=x_2=1 \qquad x_2=\dfrac{3}{2}  }

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{2) \  x^3-x^2-4=0 } \end{gathered}$}

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:

      |  1  -1  0  -4

  <u>2  |     2  2     </u>

         1  2  2  0

So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.

                   \bf{ 1^2-4(2)(2)=1-16=-15 < 0 \quad \Longrightarrow \quad x=2 }

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{3) \  6x^3+7x^2-9x+2=0 } \end{gathered}$}

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:

   | 6    7       9      2

<u>-2 |      -12    10     -2</u>

     6    -5     1       0

So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:

         \bf{ x_{2, 3}&=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{(5)^2-4(6)(1)}}{2(6)}=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{25-24}}{12}=\dfrac{5\pm 1}{12} }}

                     \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf  \begin{matrix} x_1=-2&\ \ \ \ \ \ x_{2}=\dfrac{6}{12} \qquad &\ \ \ x_3=\dfrac{4}{12}\\ &\ \ \ x_2=\dfrac{1}{2} \qquad &x_3=\dfrac{1}{3} \end{matrix} \end{gathered}$}

Use the following trinomial to answer the questions. x^2-6x-27 When going through the process of determining the factors, the tw
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The factors are 3 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trinomial is x^2-6x-27.

We need to find two factors. We know that,

3(9) = 27

So,

x^2-6x-27 can be written as :

x^2+3x-9x-27 as two factors add up to get -6 and multiply to get -27.

Hence, the factors are 3 and -9.

For number 8 how do you factor the common factor out of the expression
kari74 [83]
You do the same as with number you take out the largest allowed amount. For example for 8 you could take out x^2 and y^2 along with the normal factors, So once you factor everything out you would be left with 27x^2y^2(y^3-3x)
