The three roots of x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0 is 0,-3 and -4
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given a cubic polynomial.
We need to find the three roots of the given polynomial.
Since it is a cubic polynomial, we can start by taking ‘x’ common from the equation.
This gives us:
----- eqn 1
So, from the above eq1 we can find the first root of the polynomial, which will be:
x = 0
Now, we need to find the remaining two roots which are taken from the remaining part of the equation which is:
we have to use the quadratic equation to solve this polynomial. The quadratic formula is:
Now, a = 1, b = 7 and c = 12
By substituting the values of a,b and c in the quadratic equation we get;
<em><u>Therefore, the two roots are:</u></em>
And,
Hence, the three roots of the given cubic polynomial is 0, -3 and -4
a geometric sequence is a bunch of numbers where you can get from a number to the next number by multiplying the previous number by a certain number
might be confusing so here's an example
1,2,4,8,16
each term is multiplied by 2 to get next term, that number that each term is multiplied by is called the common ratio
formula for geometric sequence is
where is nth term
is first term
r is teh common ratio
n=which term
in our example
1,3, 9, 27, 81
each term is being multiplied by 3 so it is a geometric sequence and thus r=3
also first term is 1 so
so the formula is or in function notation
