Algebra.Com's Answer #20018 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! SEE THE FOLLOWING AND TRY \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "127t^5 - 43t^2 + 7=F(T) \n" ); document.write( "FIND FACTORS FOR CONSTANT TERM ...THEY ARE 1,-1,7 AND -7......CALL THIS N \n" ); document.write( "FIND FACTORS FOR HIGHEST DEGREE TERM..THEY ARE 1,-1,127,-127....CALL THIS...D \n" ); document.write( "RATIONAL ROOTS COULD THEN BE ONLY FROM N/D...THAT IS \n" ); document.write( "1/1=1......1/-1=-1........1/127......1/-127 \n" ); document.write( "7/1=7......7/-1=-7........7/127......7/-127 \n" ); document.write( "THAT IS ALL......... SO TEST EACH OF THEM IN THE GIVEN EQN. TO FIND IF IT GIVES A ZERO..THEN IT IS REDUCIBLE OTHERWISE NOT \n" ); document.write( "WE FIND THAT F(T) IS NOT ZERO FOR ANY OF THESE VALUES..SO IT IS IRREDUCIBLE OVER Q(RATIONAL) \n" ); document.write( " |
