P(x)= 3x^3-5x^2-14x-4

nexus9112 [7]

$\displaystyle\\
P(x)=3x^3-5x^2-14x-4\\\\
D_{-4}=\{-4;~-2;~\underline{\bf -1};~1;~2;~4\}\\\\
\text{We observe that } \frac{-1}{3} \text{ is a solution of the equation:}\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=0\\\\
$

$\displaystyle\\
\text{Verification}\\\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=\\\\
=3\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)^3-5\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)^2-14\times\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)-4=\\\\
=-\frac{1}{9}-\frac{5}{9}+\frac{14}{3}-4=\\\\
=-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{14}{3}-4=\\\\
=-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{42}{9}- \frac{4\times 9}{9}=\\\\
 =-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{42}{9}- \frac{36}{9}= \frac{42-6-36}{9}=\frac{42-42}{9}=\frac{0}{9}=0\\\\
\Longrightarrow~~~P(x)~\vdots~\Big(x+ \frac{1}{3}\Big)\\\\
\Longrightarrow~~~P(x)~\vdots~(3x+1)$

$\displaystyle\\
3x^3-5x^2-14x-4=0\\
~~~~~-5x^2 = x^2 - 6x^2\\
~~~~~-14x =-2x-12x \\
3x^3+x^2 - 6x^2-2x-12x-4=0\\
x^2(3x+1)-2x(3x+1) -4(3x+1)=0\\
(3x+1)(x^2-2x -4)=0\\\\
\text{Solve: } x^2-2x -4=0\\\\
x_{12}= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\\\\=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4+16}}{2}=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{20}}{2}=\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{5}}{2}=1\pm\sqrt{5}\\\\
x_1 =1+\sqrt{5}\\
x_2 =1-\sqrt{5}\\
\Longrightarrow P(x)= 3x^3-5x^2-14x-4 =\boxed{(3x+1)(x-1-\sqrt{5})(x-1+\sqrt{5})}$

Um help! how do I do this?

valkas [14]

1/2 t-4(2+t)=20
1/2 t-8-4t=20
least common multiple=2
t-16-8t=40
-7t=40+16
-7t=56
t=56/-7=-8

Answer: t=-8

To check
-8/2 - 4(2-8)=-4-4(-6)=-4+24=20

Write the percent as a mixed number in simplest form.<br> 168%

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

1 and 17/25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you make it into a fraction. So because percents are out of 100, it would be 168/100. Then, you take 100 out of it to get a mixed number, 1 and 68/100, and then simplify 68/100 by dividing both sides by the greatest common factor, which is 4. 68/100÷4=17/25. The answer would be 1 and 17/25.

(hope this helps :P)
