Step-by-step explanation:
2x³+ 6x² - x - 10 = 0
(1) Possible roots
The Rational Roots Theorem states that, if a polynomial has any rational roots, they will have the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.
In your function, the constant term is -10 and the leading coefficient is 2, so
Factors of 10 = ±1, ±2, ±5, ±10
Factors of 2 = ±1, ±2
(2) Synthetic division
Rather than work through all 12 possibilities, I will do one that works.
So, x = -2 is a root, and the quotient is 2x² + 2x - 5.
(3) Check for other rational roots
2x² + 2x - 5 = 0
D = b² - 4ac =2²- 4(2)(-5) = 4 + 40 = 44
√44 = 2√11, which is irrational.
Since irrational roots come in pairs, the cubic equation has two real, irrational roots and one rational root at x = -2.
So hmm notice the picture below
that's the 30-60-90 rule, notice your triangle, the bottom-left-angle is a right angle, 90°, the angle atop is 30°, so the angle on the bottom-right has to be 60°, thus is a 30-60-90 triangle, and as you can see on the triangle on the left in the picture, those are the ratios for it
so 8 will be x, what is the longer leg or side in yours then? well, is
