Find roots of polynomial p(x)=2x3−4x2−3x6
Answer
The roots of polynomial p(x) are:
x1x2x3x4x5=0=0.7665+0.6083i=0.7665−0.6083i=−0.7665+0.8972i=−0.7665−0.8972i Explanation
Step 1:
Write polynomial in descending order
2x3−4x2−3x6−3x6+2x3−4x2=0=0 Step 2:
Factor out −x2 from −3x6+2x3−4x2 and solve two separate equations:
−3x6+2x3−4x2−x2⋅(3x4−2x+4)−x2=0 or 3x4−2x+4=0=0=0 One solution is x=0. Use second equation to find the remaining roots.
Step 3:
Polynomial 3x4−2x+4 has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using quartic formulas.
