Algebra.Com's Answer #333527 by dan_math(11)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You should factor the equation x^3+6x^2+6x-4 to get this \n" ); document.write( "(x+2) (x^2+4 x -2) \n" ); document.write( "use the factors (b)of your free term -4 which are +/-1, +/-2 and +/-4. also make sure they are factors for your function verifying that f(b)= 0 .\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then the zeros are x=-2, x=-2-sqrt6 , x=-2+sqrt6 \n" ); document.write( " |
