The three roots of x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0 is 0,-3 and -4

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given a cubic polynomial.

x^{3}+7 x^{2}+12 x=0

We need to find the three roots of the given polynomial.

Since it is a cubic polynomial, we can start by taking ‘x’ common from the equation.

This gives us:

x^{3}+7 x^{2}+12 x=0

x\left(x^{2}+7 x+12\right)=0   ----- eqn 1

So, from the above eq1 we can find the first root of the polynomial, which will be:

x = 0

Now, we need to find the remaining two roots which are taken from the remaining part of the equation which is:

x^{2}+7 x+12=0

we have to use the quadratic equation to solve this polynomial. The quadratic formula is:

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Now, a = 1, b = 7 and c = 12

By substituting the values of a,b and c in the quadratic equation we get;

\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-7 \pm \sqrt{7^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 12}}{2 \times 1}} \\\\{x=\frac{-7 \pm \sqrt{1}}{2}}\end{array}

<em><u>Therefore, the two roots are:</u></em>

\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{1}}{2}=\frac{-7+1}{2}=\frac{-6}{2}} \\\\ {x=-3}\end{array}

And,

\begin{array}{c}{x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{1}}{2}} \\\\ {x=-4}\end{array}

Hence, the three roots of the given cubic polynomial is 0, -3 and -4

Charles drew a plan for a rectangular piece of
dalvyx [7]

The fourth coordinate of rectangular piece of material is (2.8 , -2.7)

According to the question,

Charles drew a plan for a rectangular piece of material that he will use for a blanket. Three of the vertices are (-1.4, -2.7), (-1.4,3.7), and (2.8,3.7).

As we know , the opposite sides of rectangle are equal

If we locate these coordinates in our graph and join them

Length of rectangle will be = 2.8+1.4 = 4.2cm

Breadth of rectangle will be = 3.7 + 2.7 = 6.4cm

So, the fourth coordinate should lie 6.4cm far from  (2.8,3.7)

Subtracting 6.4 from y-axis,

Fourth coordinate = 3.7 - 6.4

= -2.7

Therefore , The fourth side of rectangle = (2.8 , -2.7)

The length and width of a rectangle are 7 cm and (x-8) cm respectively. Find the value of x if the area of the rectangle is 42 c
soldi70 [24.7K]
Given length l=7
         width w=x-8
          area=42
area=wl
42=7(x-8)
42=7x-56
7x=98
x=98/7
x=14
