The answer for the exercise is: -2
 The explanation is shown below:
 You have the following function given in the problem above: f(x)=(x-5)³(x+2)². As you can see, (x+2)² is a double root, therefore, it touches the x-axis but it does nos cross it. Therefore, the answer  is -2.
 When you plot the function, you obtain the graph attached.

We have that
f(x) = (x – 5)³(x + 2)²

we know that
<span>the roots can touch or cross the x axis

</span>The way you can tell if the graph is going to cross the x-axis or just touch the x-axis is by looking at the power of the factor.

(x - 5)³ has a power of 3 which is an ODD number. An ODD power means that the graph will cross through the x-axis.

(x + 2)² has a power of 2 which is an EVEN number. An EVEN power means that the graph will touch the x-axis.

therefore

the answer is
<span>the graph of f(x) touch the x axis for the root x=-2
</span>
see the attached figure

What are the solutions of 2x2 + 16x + 34 = 0?
Anni [7]
2x^2 + 16x + 34 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 17 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 16 = -17 + 16 = -1
(x + 4)^2 = -1
x + 4 = sqrt(-1) = ±i
x = -4 <span>±</span> i
