The given function

2x^3+5x^2-6x+9=0

Since x = 1 is one of its zeroes, then we will use it to find the other zeroes

\begin{gathered} x=1 \\ x-1=1-1 \\ x-1=0 \end{gathered}

The factor is x - 1

Use the long division to find the other factors

\frac{2x^3-5x^2-6x+9}{x-1}

Divide 2x^3 by x, then multiply the answer by (x - 1)

\begin{gathered} \frac{2x^3}{x}=2x^2 \\ 2x^2(x-1)=2x^3-2x^2 \end{gathered}

Subtract the product from the original equation

\begin{gathered} 2x^3-5x^2-6x+9-(2x^3-2x^2)= \\ (2x^3-2x^3)+(-5x^2+2x^2)-6x+9= \\ 0-3x^2-6x+9 \\ \frac{2x^3-5x^2-6x+9}{x-1}=2x^2+\frac{-3x^2-6x+9}{x-1} \end{gathered}

Now, divide -3x^2 by x, then multiply the answer by (x - 1)

\begin{gathered} -\frac{3x^2}{x}=-3x \\ -3x(x-1)=-3x^2+3x \end{gathered}

Subtract it from the denominator of the fraction

\begin{gathered} (-3x^2-6x+9)-(-3x^2+3x)= \\ (-3x^2+3x^2)+(-6x-3x)+9= \\ 0-9x+9 \\ \frac{2x^2-5x^2-6x+9}{x-1}=2x^2-3x+\frac{-9x+9}{x-1} \end{gathered}

Divide -9x by x and multiply the answer by (x - 1)

\begin{gathered} \frac{-9x}{x}=-9 \\ -9(x-1)=-9x+9 \end{gathered}

Subtract it from the numerator

\begin{gathered} -9x+9-(-9x+9)= \\ (-9x+9x)+(9-9)= \\ 0+0 \\ \frac{2x^3-5x^2-6x+9}{x-1}=2x^2-3x-9 \end{gathered}

Then we will factor this trinomial into 2 factors

\begin{gathered} 2x^2=(2x)(x) \\ -9=(-3)(3) \\ (2x)(-3)+(x)(3)=-6x+3x=-3x\rightarrow middle\text{ term} \\ 2x^2-3x^2-9=(2x+3)(x-3) \end{gathered}

Equate each factor by 0 to find the other zeroes of the equation

\begin{gathered} 2x+3=0 \\ 2x+3-3=0-3 \\ 2x=-3 \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-3}{2} \\ x=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} x-3=0 \\ x-3+3=0+3 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

The zeroes of the equations are 1, 3, -3/2

The solutions of the equations are

\begin{gathered} x=-\frac{3}{2} \\ x=1 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

John and Andrew have £3.40 between them. John has £1.20 more than Andrew. John has £u and Andrew £v
Dahasolnce [82]
In the given question, there are several information's of immense importance and they can be used to find the necessary answers. It is already given that John and Andrew have 3.40 pound together. It is also given that John has 1.20 pound more than Andrew. It is also assumed that John has"u" pound and Andrew has "v" pounds.
Then we can write the two equations as
u + v = 3.40
u = v + 1.20
To find the values of u and v, we can replace the u in the first equation with the value of u in the second equation. Then
u + v = 3.40
(v + 1.20) + v = 3.40
2v + 1.20 = 3.40
2v = 3.40 - 1.20
2v = 2.2
v = 2.2/2
  = 1.1
Now we replace the value of v in the first equation to find the value of u.
 u + v = 3.40
u + 1.1 = 3.40
u = 3.40 - 1.1
u = 2.3
