Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 8x² - x + 8 =0

x^3 - 8x² - (x - 8 )=0

x²(x-8) - (x-8) = 0

(x-8)(x² -1) =0

x-8 = 0  or x² - 1 = 0

x-8=0 or (x-1)(x+1)=0

x=8 x=1 or x=-1

<u>ANSWER:  </u>

The solutions of the x^{3}-8 x^{2}-x+8=0 is -1, 1, 8

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, cubic equation is x^{3}-8 x^{2}-x+8=0 --- eqn 1

We need to find the solutions of the given cubic equation.

When we observe the equation clearly, we can notice that sum of coefficients is zero

According to polynomial identities, we can say that 1 is one of its solutions.

Let, a,b,c be the solutions of any equation, then its general form is  

x^{3}-(a+b+c) x^{2}+(a b+b c+c a) x+a b c=0 --- eqn (2)

On comparing both (1) and (2)

a + b + c = 8, ab +bc + ca = -1, abc = -8

We know, one solution is 1, let it be c, i.e. c=1

a + b + 1 = 8, ab + b +a = -1, ab = -8

We can conclude that a + b = 7, ab = -8, from above three equations

We know that, (a-b)^{2}=(a+b)^{2}-4 a b

(a-b)^{2}=7^{2}-4 \times(-8)

(a-b)^{2}=49+32

(a-b)^{2}=81

(a-b)=9

add (a + b) and (a – b) we get  

a+ b + a-b = 7 + 9

2a = 16

a = 8

Substitute a value in a+b =7 , we get

8 + b =7

b =-1

Hence, the solutions of the x^{3}-8 x^{2}-x+8=0 is -1 , 1 , 8

How to turn 2.96 into a mixed number
Alex Ar [27]
First, isolate the decimal. second, put it over the correct denominator based on the decimal place:   96/100.  Next, divide by a number that goes into both 96 and 100. 4 works.... 24/25. And that is your answer, after you add the original 2 back: 2 \frac{24}{25}

How is 0.09 smaller than 0.1
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

0.09 < 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that it doesn't matter how many numbers are after the tenths place of a decimal point what matters is the tenths place itself. If you have a decimal that has dozens of numbers but it's tenth place is a 3 and then you have a decimal with 5 numbers in whole but it's tenths place is 4, the 4 is greater then the 3 simply because it's greater in tenths.

Hope this helps.
