Question

i need help finding the zeros of this equation help please? x3 – x2 + 5x – 5 = 0

Answer 1

x^3 - x^2 + 5x = 0

Answer 2

3x2-5x-2=0


Find the factors such that the product of the factors is the trinomial 3x2-5x-2. This can be done by trial and error and checked using the FOIL method of simplifying polynomials.

(3x+1)(x-2)=0


Set each of the factors of the left-hand side of the equation equal to 0.

3x+1=0


Set each of the factors of the left-hand side of the equation equal to 0.

x-2=0


Since 1 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 1 from both sides.

3x=-1


Divide each term in the equation by 3.

3x/3=-1/3


Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.

x=-1/3


Since -2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 2 to both sides.

x=2


The complete solution is the set of the individual solutions.

x=-1/3,2 hope this helps best of luck and dont forget to choose me for the best answer because this took me so long
