Algebra.Com's Answer #306159 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! real roots should be factors of ___ the constant (last) term, divided by the coefficient of the cubed (first) term\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "both of these equations have 1 as a root, so x-1 is a factor\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide the equations by x-1 to get two quadratics, which can be factored or run through the quadratic formula \n" ); document.write( " |
