The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells us that there are 3 solutions to this equation because it is a polynomial of degree 3
:
The Rational Roots Theorem tells us that if there are rational roots, then they are + or - 1, + or - 2, + or - 5, + or - 10
:
substituting these values into the equation, we find that
:
-1 and 10 are rational root solutions to this equation and
:
(x+1)*(x-10) = x^2 -9x -10, divide the original equation by this equation and we get x+1, therefore
:
(x+1)^2 * (x-10) = x^3 − 8x^2 − 19x − 10, the original equation
:
therefore the equation has a double root and the roots are
:
-1, -1, 10
:
