Find the root of (M^3)+(M^2)-2=0. Show steps.

MrRissso [65]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 1, -1 + i, and -1 - i are the 3 roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rational Root Theorem will help us find any real roots in this 3rd degree polynomial.  The c value in that polynomia is -2 and the d value is 1 (the leading coefficient).  

If c is -2, then the factors of -2 are:

1, -1, 2, -2

If d is 1, then the factors of 1 are:

1, -1

And c/d gives us all the possible roots:

1/1, -1/1, 2/1, -2/1 which of course simplify to

1, -1 2, -2

We will now use synthetic division to find the first real root.  I will use x = 1 first.

For synthetic division:

1|   1     1     0     -2

is how it is set up.  Bring down the first number, 1, multiply it by 1 and put that product up under the second "1":

1|    1     1     0     -2

           1

     1

Now add to get

1|     1     1     0     -2

            1

      1     2

Multiply 2 by 1 and put that product up under the 0 and add:

1|     1     1     0     -2

             1     2

      1     2    2

Again multiply the 2 by 1 and put that product up undeer the -2 and add:

1|     1     1     0     -2

            1      2      2

      1     2     2      0

That remainder of 0 tells us that x = 1 is a root of that polynomial and the depressed polynomial, made up from the bold numbers, is one degree less than what it started with:

x^2+2x+2=0

This does not factor without imaginary roots, so putting it into the quadratic formula looks like this:

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{4-4(1)(2)} }{2}

which simplifies to

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{-4} }{2}

The square root of -4 simplifies to 2i, so

x=\frac{-2+/-2i}{2}

which reduces to

x = -1 + i and

x = -1 - i

If the length of a side of a square is increased from 4 to 8, which of the following statements is true?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

C.) The perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original square: side = 4

Area = side^2 = 4^2 = 16 square units

Perimeter = 4 * side = 4 * 4 = 16 units

Larger square: side = 8

Area = side^2 = 8^2 = 64 square units

Perimeter = 4 * side = 4 * 8 = 32 units

Comparison of areas:

(larger square area)/(original square area) = 64/16 = 4

Comparison of perimeters:

(larger square perimeter)/(original square perimeter) = 32/16 = 2

Answer:

C.) The perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled.

Factor completely 2x2 + 9x + 4.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

(2x + 4) ( x +1 ) are factors .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 2x² + 9x + 4.

To find : Factor.

Solution : We have given that 2x² + 9x + 4.

On factoring 2x² + 8x + 1x + 4.

Taking common 2x from first two terms and 1 from last two terms .

2x ( x +4 ) +1 (x +4 ).

On grouping

(2x + 4) ( x +1 ).

Therefore , (2x + 4) ( x +1 ) are factors .

What are three ways to get 256 using exponents
Nastasia [14]

recall from the previous posting, 2⁸ = 256, so that's one way to represent it.

now, another way hmmm


\bf 2^8\implies 2^{2\cdot 4}\implies (2^2)^4\implies (4)^4\implies 4^4
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{yet another way}}{2^8\implies 2^{4\cdot 2}}\implies (2^4)^2\implies (16)^2\implies 16^2
