soo..would it be nosolution then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=1.5 and x=-4

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you use synthetic division to find the rational roots?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

em sure this is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. well thank you. ithought it was no solutione bc it didnt have any reeal numbers

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Since it is x^3 there should be 3 answers.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

and 1.5 is not an answer.

OpenStudy (radar):

Factor getting (x+4)(2x^2-6x +5) This will give you the real solution of x=-4, now solve the quadratic and get the two complex solutions.

OpenStudy (radar):

Solve the quadratic using the quadratic equation a=2, b=-6, and c=5

OpenStudy (radar):

\[6 \pm \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4\times2\times5}\over 4\]
