Algebra.Com's Answer #21978 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem is from a worksheet. Find all zeros of each function. If a zero has a multiplicity greater than on, please note the multiplicity. \n" ); document.write( "f(x)= x^3+12x^2-16...I THINK IT IS 12X^2..OK? \n" ); document.write( "I have tried to solve using synthetic division, but cannot find a number that makes it zero, I have tried +-{1,2,4,8,16} and I put a zero in place where there is a missing degree...but still cannot find answer. My p/q is probably wrong, but I am pulling my hair out here trying to figure it out. Thanks for the help. \n" ); document.write( "NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU.YOU ARE CORRECT.IT HAS A ROOT WHICH IS NOT RATIONAL.HENCE YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE ANSWER BY TRYING 1,2,4,8,16... \n" ); document.write( "THE ROOT IS ABOUT 1.1 APPROXIMATELY.I AM NOT SURE WHICH METHODS YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT ,WHEN THE CUBIC HAS AN IRRATIONAL ROOT .JUST GIVE ME YOUR BACK GROUND AND I SHALL TRY TO HELP.ONE EASY WAY IS TO SOLVE GRPHICALY.THAT IS DRAW A GRAPH FOR Y=X^3 AND ANOTHER GRAPH FOR Y=16-12X^2 AND FIND THE POINT OF INTERSECTION. \n" ); document.write( " |
