The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells us that there are 3 solutions to this equation because it is a polynomial of degree 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The Rational Roots Theorem tells us that if there are rational roots, then they are + or - 1, + or - 2, + or - 5, + or - 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "substituting these values into the equation, we find that
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-1 and 10 are rational root solutions to this equation and
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1)*(x-10) = x^2 -9x -10, divide the original equation by this equation and we get x+1, therefore
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1)^2 * (x-10) = x^3 − 8x^2 − 19x − 10, the original equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "therefore the equation has a double root and the roots are
