Answer:

x = 0, 6, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, first get rid of the negative x^3 by making it positive.

x^3 - 5x^2 - 6x = 0

Now you can start by finding the possible zeros. To do so take the factors of p (in this case the 6 in 6x) and the factors of q (in this case 1 in -x^3) and divide p by q.

P = ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6

Q = 1

possible zeros = ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6

Go through your equation x^3 - 5x^2 - 6x = 0 and check each possible zero until you find one that gets the equation to equal zero.

You could either continue to try each number and the ones that work would be your answer, or you can find one that works, factor it out, then factor your new equation. The second method is faster so that's what I'll use

Check each possible zero. For example:

(1)^3 - 5(1)^2 - 6(1) = 0

-10=0 This will not work

(-1)^3 - 5(-1)^2 - 6(-1) = 0

0 = 0

-1 Works, so now you will factor out -1 using synthetic division.

-1 |            | 1    -5   -6   0

                |      -1     6   0

                 1    -6    0   0

Your new equation is x^2 - 6x = 0

Now factor your new equation:

x(x - 6) = 0

x = 0, 6, -1

I hope this all made sense, have a good day :)

What is the name of the triangle in which none of the sides have the same length?
VikaD [51]
When a triangle has two congruent sides it is called an isosceles triangle. The angles opposite to the two sides of the same length are congruent. A triangle without any congruent sides or angles is called a scalene triangle. When two triangles are congruent it means that they have the same size and shape.                                                                                                                                  please make me brainliest
