P(x) = x^4 - 9x^2 - 4x + 12
P(1) = 1^4 - 9(1)^2 - 4(1) + 12 = 1 - 9 - 4 + 12 = 0
x = 1 is a root.
By dividing the polynomial by x - 1, gives other roots as 3 and -2
Answer:
the 1/5 one is 0.95
Step-by-step explanation:
look it up, silly also im sorry if i got in wrong i need help too and no one is helping me so im helping other people (well trying too)
40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):
Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):
40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
8x 8x
5 + x = 0 produces the root x = - 5.
Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.
Be certain to check these results. substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false? Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false?
