Q^n + k^(n-1).... + P = 0
Like: 3x^3+9x-6=0

All rational roots will be rational factors of P/Q such that:

Q = 3 Factors: 1,3
P = -6 Factors: [+/-] 1,2,3,6

Possible Rational Roots: [1/1,1/3,2/1,2/3,3/1,3/3,6/1,6/3] = [+/-] 1,1/3,2,2/3,3,6

Now you just test them in the equation itself and where the input makes the function equal 0, you have a root.

For this polynomial, no roots are rational, so when you test it you'll find that it must only contain irrational roots and may only be solved by other means.

the ratio of students at a school is 3 boys for every 4 girls. If there are 52 girls how many boys are in the school
vova2212 [387]
There are 39 boys. 
First you divide 4 into 52 because there are 3 boys for 4 girls. 
Then you take the quotient, 13, and multiply by 3.

I need help with this how do I do it
Anna35 [415]
Triangle angles add to 180 degrees. Thus, x - 17, x - 22, and 3x + 19 add to 180.

Add like terms to get 5x - 20 = 180
5x = 200
x = 40
