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

Mathematics
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago

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

Please solve and i’ll give u brainliest
Usimov [2.4K]

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Given angles: w + 8° and 48°
  • w + 8 + 48 = 180

<u>Solve for w in the equation "w + 8 + 48 = 180".</u>

  • => w + 8 + 48 = 180
  • => 56 + w = 180
  • => w = 180 - 56
  • => w = 124°

The value of w is 124.

Write the equation of a piecewise function with a jump discontinuity at x =3. Then, determine which step of the 3-step test for
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Here's a possible example:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =\begin{cases} x & \quad x < 3\\x+3 & \quad x \geq 3\\\end{cases}

Each piece is linear, so the pieces are continuous by themselves.

We need consider only the point at which the pieces meet (x = 3).

\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} x = 3\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{+}} x+3 = 6\\\\f(3) = x + 3 = 6\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) \neq f(3)

The left-hand limit does not equal ƒ(x), so there is a jump discontinuity at x =3.
