Find the roots of the equation x^3-3x^2+x+5

1 answer:

5 0

First observe that x=-1 is a root of the equation. Use long division to divide x^3-3x^2+x+5 by x+1, we find that (x^3-3x^2+x+5)/(x+1)=(x^2-4x+5). Now we need to find the roots of x^2-4x+5.
x^2-4x+5=0,
x^2-4x+4=-1,
(x-2)^2=i,
x-2=i or -1,
x=2+i or 2-i.
The three roots are 2+i, 2-i, -1.

A lawn mower cost $470 when new and is expected to last 10 years. What will it be worth in 7.5 years? (Assume the lawn mower has

USPshnik [31]

Answer: 117.5
Explanation: Assuming that after 10 years the lawn mower would have a value of 0. We can evenly divide $470 by the amount of years.
$750/10 = $75
We would then multiply 75*7.5 years to then realize the value lost over that amount of time would be $352.5, subtracting that from the original value of $470 would then be 117.5

How to evaluate the limit

anzhelika [568]

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}$

Both the numerator and denominator are continuous at $x=2$ , which means the quotient rule for limits applies:

$\dfrac{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x^2-x+6)}{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x+2)}=\dfrac{2^2-2+6}{2+2}=\dfrac84=2$

Perhaps you meant to write that $x\to-2$ instead? In that case, you would have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{(x+2)(x-3)}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}(x-3)=-2-3=-5$
