Answer: {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}
Step-by-step explanation:
Presented symbolically, we have:
x^3 - 2x^2 - 5x + 6
Synthetic division is very useful for determining roots of polynomials. Once we have roots, we can easily write the corresponding factors.
Write out possible factors of 6: {±1, ±2, ±3, ±6}
Let's determine whether or not -2 is a root. Set up synthetic division as follows:
-2 / 1 -2 -5 6
-2 8 -6
-----------------------
1 -4 3 0
since the remainder is zero, we know for sure that -2 is a root and (x + 2) is a factor of the given polynomial. The coefficients of the product of the remaining two factors are {1, -4, 3}. This trinomial factors easily into {(x -1), (x - 3)}.
Thus, the three factors of the given polynomial are {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}
7/12-9/8(2x-1)-5/6(3x+2)=0
(7*2-9(2x-1)*3-5(3x+2)*4)/24=0
(14-9(2x-1)*3-5(3x+2)*4)/24=0
(14-27(2x-1)-20(3x+2)/24=0
(14-54x+27-60x-40)/24=0
(14+(-54x-60x)+27-40)/24=0
(14-114x+27-40)/24
(-144x+1)/24=0
-114x+1=0
-114x=-1
x=1/144
