Here’s how you would work it out
Answer: x = {-1, -3, 2}
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0
Use the rational root theorem to find the possible roots: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
Use Long division, Synthetic division, or plug them into the equation to see which root(s) work <em>(result in a remainder of zero)</em>.
I will use Synthetic division. Let's try x = 1
1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ 1 3 -2 </u>
1 3 -2 -8 ← remainder ≠ 0 so x = 1 is NOT a root
Let's try x = -1
- 1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ -1 -1 6 </u>
1 1 -6 0 ← remainder = 0 so x = -1 is a root!
The coefficients of the reduced polynomial are: 1, 1, -6 --> x² + x - 6
Factor: x² + x - 6
(x + 3)(x - 2)
Set those factors equal to zero to solve for x:
x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3
x - 2 = 0 --> x = 2
Using Synthetic Division and Factoring the reduced polynomial, we found
x = -1, -3, and 2
Answer: The required values are
x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that T is the midpoint of SU, where
ST = 5x and TU = 3x + 24.
We are to find the values of x, ST and SU.
Since T is the midpoint of SU, so we get
So, the value of x is 12.
Therefore,
and
Thus, the required values are
x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.
Distribute The 4 In Problem Number 2. (4*2.5X)+(4*1.25) = 77
Simplify. 10X+5 = 77. Now, Subtract 5 From Both Sides.
10X = 77-5
10X = 72.
Now, Divide.
X = 72/10.
X = 7.2.
For 13, We Have This:
3/5p+2/3 = 8.
Now, Subtract 2/3.
3/5p = 7 1/3
Now, Divide.
7 1/3 Needs To Be Converted To An Improper Fraction.
It Becomes 22/3.
22 5 110
--- * --- = ----
3 3 9
Now, Make Into A Proper Fraction.
It Becomes 12 And 2/9.
