Starting off with the base equation.
x(1−x)=−6

Simplify both sides of the equation.−x2+x=−6

Subtract -6 from both sides.−x2+x−(−6)=−6−(−6)−x2+x+6=0

Factor left side of equation.(−x−2)(x−3)=0

Set factors equal to 0.−x−2=0 or x−3=0x=−2 or x=3

For the given polynomials find the sum of the squares of the roots. P(x)=x^3-x^2-18x+k

slega [8]

$\text{Given that,}\\\\P(x) = x^3 -x^2 -18x+k\\\\\text{If the roots are}~ \alpha, ~ \beta,~\text{and}~ \gamma, ~ \text{then},\\\\\alpha +\beta+\gamma= -\dfrac{(-1)}1 = 1\\\\\alpha \beta +\beta \gamma + \gamma \alpha= -\dfrac{18}1 = -18\\ \\\text{Now, sum of the squares of the roots,}\\\\\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = ( \alpha + \beta + \gamma)^2 -2(\alpha \beta + \gamma \beta + \gamma \alpha)\\ \\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=1^2 - 2(-18)\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=1+36\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=37$

2. when dividing a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal, so it would be 5/7 times 1/3

3. multiply the numerator and denominators, so 5x1 and 3x7

4. the answer is 5/21
