The best way is to recognise that, if
x
=
5
is a root, then
x
−
5
=
0
, and ditto for the other two roots. So we have
x
−
5
,
x
−
i
,
x
+
i
all equalling zero. To find our polynomial, we just multiply the three terms together:
(
x
−
5
)
(
x
−
i
)
(
x
+
i
)
=
(
x
2
−
i
x
−
5
x
+
5
i
)
(
x
+
i
)
=
x
3
+
i
x
2
−
i
x
2
−
(
i
2
)
x
−
5
x
2
−
5
i
x
+
5
i
x
+
5
i
2
which simplifies to
x
3
−
5
x
2
+
x
−
5
.
Answer:
49 round beds
Step-by-step explanation:
60 beds in total= 11 not round beds +?
-11 not round beds=--11 not round beds=?
49 round beds=49 round beds
That's the best way I could explain it.
