Answer:
x = -2, 3, -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 - 10x = -3x2 + 24 = 0
x^3 + 3x^2 - 10x - 24 = 0
The last term is 24 and the coefficient of x^3 is 1 so +/- 1, +-2, +/- 3 and +/- 4 could be among the roots ( by The Rational Root Theorem).
Let x = 1
f(x) = 1^3 +3(1)^2 - 10 - 24 = -30 so it's no t .
f(-1) = -1 + 3 + 10 - 24 = -12 so it's not -1.
Let x = 2:
f(2) = 2^3 +3*4 - 20 - 24 = -32 so its not 2
f(-2) = -8 + 12 + 20 - 24 = 0 so x = -2 is a root
and therefore x+ 2 is a factor and we divide:
x + 2 ) x^3 + 3x^2 - 10x - 24 ( x^2 + x - 12 <------ The quotient
x^3 + 2x^2
x^2 - 10x
x^2 + 2x
-12x - 24
-12x - 24
..............
Now x^2 + x - 12 = (x - 3)(x + 4)
So (x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0
This gives
x = -2, 3, -4.
The answer is 2 y-5=-4/3(x-2)
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$84
Step-by-step explanation:
12:1 means for every dollar you bet you will win 12
so 7 x 12 = 84
you would win $84, you bet 7 so net profit would be 84-7 = $77
Net profit is $77
To solve equations, you isolate the variable you are solving for on one side and everything else on the other side.
The first step to solving this equation is to combine like terms.
Combining like terms means to add up all terms that have the same variable(s) and exponent.
If no exponent is shown, then a 1 exponent is implied. The reason why we don't show a term raised to the first power is that it doesn't have any effect on the term.
I see three terms with the x variables. We can combine them. Why? Because they all have the same variable and exponent.
I'll rearrange the left-hand side to combine all the terms with the x variable.
Now we have -3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
Combine all terms that have the x variable.
-3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
-3 - 4x = -6
Now we have -3 - 4x = -6
What can we do now to isolate the x variable on the left-hand side?
For starters, we can add 3 to each side of the equation.
That way the -3 term will disappear.
-3 - 4x + 3 = -6 + 3
-4x = -3
Last step.
The x variable is being multiplied by the -4. If we reverse that operation
we can get the value of x.
-4x / -4 = 3 / -4
x = 3/-4 or x = -0.75
