I think 8. Plug in -4 for x. 1/2-4^2
Using pemdas -4^2 is 16 and 1/2•16 is 8. If there were parenthesis around 1/2x then 1/2•-4 would be -2 and -2^2 is 4 but since there aren’t parentheses then 8

Find all roots: x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0 Show all work and check your answer.

Aliun [14]

The three roots of x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0 is 0,-3 and -4

Solution:

We have been given a cubic polynomial.

$x^{3}+7 x^{2}+12 x=0$

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:

$x^{3}+7 x^{2}+12 x=0$

$x\left(x^{2}+7 x+12\right)=0$ ----- 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:

$x^{2}+7 x+12=0$

we have to use the quadratic equation to solve this polynomial. The quadratic formula is:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Now, a = 1, b = 7 and c = 12

By substituting the values of a,b and c in the quadratic equation we get;

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-7 \pm \sqrt{7^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 12}}{2 \times 1}} \\\\{x=\frac{-7 \pm \sqrt{1}}{2}}\end{array}$

Therefore, the two roots are:

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{1}}{2}=\frac{-7+1}{2}=\frac{-6}{2}} \\\\ {x=-3}\end{array}$

And,

$\begin{array}{c}{x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{1}}{2}} \\\\ {x=-4}\end{array}$

Hence, the three roots of the given cubic polynomial is 0, -3 and -4
