The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

<h3>What kind of roots does have a cubic equation? </h3>

In this problem we have a <em>cubic</em> equation and the nature of their roots must be inferred according to a <em>algebraic</em> method.

Cubic equations are polynomials of the form y = a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d, there is a method to infer the nature of the roots of such polynomials: The discriminant from Cardano's method, an <em>analytical</em> method used to solve polynomials of the form a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d = 0.

The discriminant is described below:

Δ = 18 · a · b · c · d - 4 · b³ · d + b² · c² - 4 · a · c³ - 27 · a² · d²      (1)

Where:

  1. There are three <em>distinct real</em> roots for Δ > 0.
  2. Real roots with multiplicity greater than 1 for Δ = 0.
  3. A <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots for Δ < 0.

If we know that a = 1, b = 2, c = 4 and d = 8, then the nature of the roots is:

Δ = 18 · 1 · 2 · 4 · 8 - 4 · 2³ · 8 + 2² · 4² - 4 · 1 · 4³ - 27 · 1² · 8²

Δ = - 1024

The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

X+2y=12. what does x equal​
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

x = -2y + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

x + 2y = 12

Step 1: Add -2y to both sides.

x + 2y + −2y = 12 + −2y

x = −2y + 12

Let's go shopping! Jack spent $64 less than 4 times what Annie spent. Jack spent $100. . Write and solve an equation to find how
morpeh [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute X for the amount Annie spent

4x-$64 = 100

4x = $164

x = $164/4

x = $41

Help please<br> —<br> geometry/trig
Svetach [21]

Answer:

16.26

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle of C, use the inverse sine function.

Sin^{-1}(sin c) = Sin^{-1} \frac{7}{25}\\\\c = Sin^{-1} \frac{7}{25}\\\\c = 16.26

Type into your calculator 7/25 = 0.28. Then type the sin^{-1} key to find 16.26 degrees.
