Factorise and solve : x^3-x^2-4x+4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

note that the sum of the coefficients 1 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 0

thus x = 1 is a root and (x - 1 ) is a factor

dividing x³ - x² - 4x + 4 by (x - 1)

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x² - 4 ) (note (x² - 4 ) is a difference of squares )

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2 ) =0

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

solutions are x = 1 or x = ± 2

Find vertex of f(x)=(x+3)(x-5)
astra-53 [7]

The x coordinate of the vertex will be the average of the two zeros, here -3 and 5, so x=(-3+5)/2 = 1, f(1)=(1+3)(1-5) = -16.

Answer: (1, -16)

Let's do it some other ways.  How about completing the square to turn f in to vertex form?

f(x) = (x+3)(x-5) = x² - 2x - 15 = (x² - 2x + 1) - 1 - 15 = (x-1)² - 16

and now we can read off (1, -16) as the vertex.

The other method is the vertex is x= - b/2a =  - (-2)/2(1) = 1.

Three methods, same answer. Good.
