Question 939079: Solve for x over the complex numbers: y=x^3+4x^2; y=3x+18
thanks a bunch Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, ewatrrr:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=x^3+4x^2; y=3x+18
y=x^3+4x^2 = 3x+18
f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0
-------------
Try the factors of 18, + and minus.
eg, f(1) = 1 + 4 - 3 - 18 = -16 Not a zero.
Find any real integer zeroes then divide by (x - zero). One zero will reduce it to a quadratic.
