F(x)=x cubed +3x squared -6x-8

Mathematics
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: x = {-4, -1, 2}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

        q                     p

F(x) = x³ + 3x² - 6x - 8

\frac{p}{q} = +/- \frac{1, 2, 4, 8}{1}

Possible rational roots are: +/- {1, 2, 4, 8}

F(1) = (1)³ + 3(1)² - 6(1) - 8

     =  1 + 3 - 6 - 8

     =  -10    <em>Since the remainder is not 0, then x = 1 is not a root</em>

F(-1) = (-1)³ + 3(-1)² - 6(-1) - 8

       = -1 + 3 + 6 - 8

       =  0   <em>Since the remainder is 0, x = -1 is a root.</em>

Use synthetic division to find the remaining factor:

x = -1  →  x + 1 = 0

-1  |  1     3     -6     -8

   <u>|  ↓    -1     -2      8     </u>

      1      2    -8      0

(x + 1)(x² + 2x - 8)  = 0

Next, factor the polynomial:

(x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 2)  = 0  

x + 1 = 0        x + 4 = 0         x - 2 = 0

x = -1              x = -4               x = 2

It is given that,

Miguel made 80 on his Math test. He made 95 in last week's Math test.

We need to find the percent change on his scores. It can be calculated as follows :

\%=\dfrac{\text{original score-initial score}}{\text{original socre}}}\times 100\\\\\%=\dfrac{95-80}{95}\times 100\\\\\%=15.78\%

So, there is a percent change of 15.78%.
