First observe that x=-1 is a root of the equation. Use long division to divide x^3-3x^2+x+5 by x+1, we find that (x^3-3x^2+x+5)/(x+1)=(x^2-4x+5). Now we need to find the roots of x^2-4x+5.
x^2-4x+5=0,
x^2-4x+4=-1,
(x-2)^2=i,
x-2=i or -1,
x=2+i or 2-i.
The three roots are 2+i, 2-i, -1.
Answer:
25 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
An alloy is a mixture of metals. Suppose that a certain alloy is made by mixing 50 g of an alloy containing 12% copper with 78 g of an alloy containing 92% copper.
To Find :
How many grams of copper are in the resulting mixture what percentage of the resulting mixture is copper.
Solution :
Mass of copper in 50 gm alloy =
.
Mass of copper in 78 gm alloy =
.
Total mass of copper, ( 6 + 76.44 ) gm = 82.44 gram.
Percentage of copper in resulting mixture :

Hence, this is the required solution.
