Given f(x)=-x^3+7x^2-9x-5 & that x=5 is a root, find the other roots. (Find the depressed equation, then use the quadratic formula). Simplify your answer as much as possible, but do not approximate with decimals. -----
---------
Using synthetic division::
5)....-1....7....-9....-5
......-1....2.....1...|..0
----
Quotient:: -x^2 + 2x + 1
-------
Using the quadratic formula::
x = [-2 +- sqrt(4 - 4*-1*1)]/-2
-----
x = [-2 +- sqrt(8)]/(-2)
-----
x = [-2+-2sqrt(2)]/(-2)
-----
x = 1 +- sqrt(2)
