F(x) = x3 – 13x2 + 52x – 60 Find the roots

Mathematics
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The roots are 2, 5 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the last term is 60  we could see if  one root is 2:

2^3 - 13(2)^2 + 52*2 - 60

= 8 - 52 + 104 - 60

= 112 - 112 = 0

So x = 2 is one root and x - 2 is a factor.

Long multiplication:

x - 2 (x^3  - 13x^2  + 52x  - 60 ( x^2 - 11x + 30  <--- Quotient

        x^3  -   2x^2

                 -  11 x^2 + 52x

                 -  11x^2  + 22x

                                   30x - 60

                                   30x - 60

So x^2 - 11x + 30 = 0

(x - 6)(x - 5) = 0

x = 6, 5.

Solve the system of equations algebraically. Show all of your steps
Katyanochek1 [597]
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.

We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:

3x+20=x^2+2x

Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you

x+20=x^2

Now, we take the square root of both sides to get

rad(x+20)=x

Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes

2rad(x+5)

This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...

Consider the function f(x)=x^2+2x-8
sattari [20]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

function   f(x) = x² + 2x - 8

-See the graph below

1) x-intercepts

We observe in the graph that there are no x-intercepts.

2) y-intercepts

We observe in the graph that the y-intercept is (0, 8). Point A

3) axis of symmetry

The axis of symmetry is the line that divides the parabola into two equal parts. This line is x = -1 (blue line)

4) The vertex is the lowest point of the parabola, this point is (-1, 7)

Point B in the graph.
