Solve the equation X³+2X²-5X -6​
Natali [406]

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

What is the shortcut method in learning integration formulas?
blondinia [14]
There is no real shortcut in learning integration formulas. You should take time learning and understanding how the formulas are derived until you are familiar with the formulas and you can easily recall the formulas. Hope this answers the question.

"The output is one-fourth of the input."
Alenkasestr [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using functions, the input is x, the output is y.

<u>Break down the problem:</u>

The output (y) is (equals) one-fourth (1/4) of the input (x)

y equals 1/4 of x

y =  \frac{1}{4} x
