can anyone tell how to solve this cubic polynomial

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

\[8r{3}-8r^2+1\]

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

i have got one root as 1/2 how to slove for others

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

*solve pls fast i am solving GP questions

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

so other one will be -1/2

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Can you do polynomial division? Try to divide f(x) by (x-1/2) and solve the resulting quadratic (with complex roots)

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

y

OpenStudy (mathmate):

What did you get for the quadratic? @kanwal32

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

8r^2+4r-2

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

any shortcuts

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

i was asking for shortcuts

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I get \(8r^2-4r-2\). Would you like to recheck yours?

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

yes u r right

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

i typed wrong

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

lol

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So the quadratic formula should get you the two other roots.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Sorry, the two other roots are not complex. Mea coupa.
