Find all solutions to x³+3x² − 9x − 27 = 0 by factoring the equation.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The solutions are $x=-3,\:x=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this cubic polynomial $x^3+3x^2-9x-27$ you must:

Group the polynomial into two sections

$x^3+3x^2-9x-27=\left(x^3+3x^2\right)+\left(-9x-27\right)$

Factor out -9 from $(-9x-27)$

$(-9x-27)=-9\left(x+3\right)$

Factor out $x^2$ from $(x^3+3x^2)$

$(x^3+3x^2)=x^2\left(x+3\right)$

$x^3+3x^2-9x-27=-9\left(x+3\right)+x^2\left(x+3\right)$

Factor out common term $x+3$

$-9\left(x+3\right)+x^2\left(x+3\right)=\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-9\right)$

$x^3+3x^2-9x-27=\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-9\right)$

Factor $x^2-9$

$x^2-9=\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)$

$x^3+3x^2-9x-27= \left(x+3\right)\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)$

$x^3+3x^2-9x-27=\left(x+3\right)^2\left(x-3\right)=0$

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

$x+3=0, \quad{x=-3}\\x-3=0, \quad{x=3}$

The solutions are

$x=-3,\:x=3$

5x + 2 = 7 <br> X = ?<br> Can you please help me with this

daser333 [38]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign to the opposite. the constant in this equation is +2. the new equation looks like this: 5x=7-2. After subtracting on the right (7-2) the new equation should be 5x=5. divide both sides of the equation by 5. the answer is x=1

Stella divides 12/8 on her calculator and gets 1.5. Assuming that Stella has not adjusted the calculator's settings, what do the

Romashka [77]

Stella divided 12/8.

If we divide 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5.

Let us check given options one by one .

A) Stella made an error : Stella didn't made an error because it's just division of two numbers.

B) The answer is exactly 1.5. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5, so this option is correct.

C) The calculator rounded the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no rounding is required.

D) The calculator truncated the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no truncation in the answer.

Therefore, correct option is B) The answer is exactly 1.5.
