Answer:
The solutions are 0 , 5/2 and -3

Explanation:
The given expression is:
2x³ + x² - 15x
We can note that we can take x as a common factor from all terms. This will give us:
x(2x²+x-15)

Now, the expression 2x² + x - 15 is a second degree polynomial that can be factored using the quadratic formula shown in the attached image.
In the given expression:
a = 2
b = 1
c = -15
Substituting with the values of a, b and c in the formula, we would find that
2x² + x - 15 can be factored as (2x-5)(x+3)

Based on the above, the factored form of the given expression is:
x(2x-5)(x+3)

Now, to find the solutions means to find the values of x that would make the expression equal to zero.
This means that:
x(2x-5)(x+3) = 0
either x = 0
or 2x-5=0 .............> 2x = 5 ...........> x = 5/2
or x+3=0 ............> x = -3

Based on the above, the solutions of the system are:
0 , 5/2 and -3

Hope this helps :)

Given that f(x)= x^3/4 +6<br> a) Find f(4)<br> b) Find f^-1(x)<br> c) Find f^-1(8)
Anna35 [415]

a)

f(4)=\dfrac{4^3}{4}+6=4^2+6=16+6=22

b)

\begin{aligned}\\&y=\dfrac{x^3}{4}+6\\&4y=x^3+24\\&x^3=4y-24\\&x=\sqrt[3]{4y-24}\\&f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{4x-24}\end

c)

f^{-1}(8)=\sqrt[3]{4\cdot8-24}=\sqrt[3]{8}=2
