Answer: x = {-1, -3, 2}
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0
Use the rational root theorem to find the possible roots: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
Use Long division, Synthetic division, or plug them into the equation to see which root(s) work <em>(result in a remainder of zero)</em>.
I will use Synthetic division. Let's try x = 1
1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ 1 3 -2 </u>
1 3 -2 -8 ← remainder ≠ 0 so x = 1 is NOT a root
Let's try x = -1
- 1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ -1 -1 6 </u>
1 1 -6 0 ← remainder = 0 so x = -1 is a root!
The coefficients of the reduced polynomial are: 1, 1, -6 --> x² + x - 6
Factor: x² + x - 6
(x + 3)(x - 2)
Set those factors equal to zero to solve for x:
x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3
x - 2 = 0 --> x = 2
Using Synthetic Division and Factoring the reduced polynomial, we found
x = -1, -3, and 2
G. The shape would be similar since dilation at the origin is just a translation and a translation doesn't affect the shape's size or shape.
h. They will still be similar because adding length to each side will just make the shape larger, and if the shape hasn't changed (which it hasn't) it will remain similar.
I. This is simple, just write an equation of the changes you could do the shape and it would be similar. You would have to explain how many you should move and from which sides (should be all sides). It is better for you to do this because there are millions of possible equations, and if you use the same one then it might be striked.
