Answer to Problem 6CYU
The simplified form of the equation f(x)=3x3−2x2−8x+5 has no real roots.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given equation:
f(x)=3x3−2x2−8x+5
Calculation:
Consider the expression as:
f(x)=3x3−2x2−8x+5
Now take f(x)=0 ,
Here,
f(x)=03x3−2x2−8x+5=0
This function is not a perfect cube.
So in grouping solve the equation.
As,
−8x+5,−2x2+3x3
Now factor out the common terms:
(−8x+5)⋅1(3x−2)⋅(x2)
The factorization is failed.
Now find the rational possible roots:
3x3−2x2−8x+5=0
The leading coefficient is 3 and the trilling coefficient is 5 .
Now factor of leading coefficient is: 1,3
Now to find the list of positive rational solutions for the expression look at the factors of the constants.
That are:
1,5
Here the last two terms subtracting values from the cube of the first and want to get zero,
So as have to take the positive number, and mostly take the less than mid-way.
So take a startup with 1 and check the result, then again tried to get zero.
3x3−2x2−8x+5=03(1)3−2(1)2−8(1)+5=03−2−8+5=0−2=0
So the value is not zero its too grater than zero.
So check with the value 5 .
3x3−2x2−8x+5=03(5)3−2(5)2−8(5)+5=03(125)−2(25)−40+5=0375−50−40+5=0
To get zero:
375−50−40+5=0290=0
So the value is not zero its too grater than zero.
So check with the value −1 .
3x3−2x2−8x+5=03(−1)3−2(−1)2−8(−1)+5=0−3−2+8+5=0−5+13=0
To get zero:
−5+13=08=0
So the value is zero its rational root.
So check with the value 5,3 then p/q=1.67 .
3x3−2x2−8x+5=03(1.67)3−2(1.67)2−8(1.67)+5=03(4.657463)−5.5778−13.36+5=013.972389−5.5778−13.36+5=0
To get zero:
13.972389−5.5778−13.36+5=00=0
Here got the two real root, it means (3x−5) is a factor.
Now divide the expression 3x3−2x2−8x+5=0 to the factor (3x−5) , to check for the other possible solutions.
3x−5x2+x−13x3−2x2−8x+5 3x3−5x2 3x2−8x 3x2−5x −3x+5 −3x+5 0
So the other factor is:
x2+x−1
Now find the factors of the expression x2+x−1:
x2+x−1=0
This term has no factors.
Here these two factors are not same so this equation cannot be factored any more and had no rational roots.
Thus, the simplified form of the equation 3x3−2x2−8x+5=0 has (x2+x−1)⋅(3x−5) rational roots.
