Help with #26

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

well you need to arrange it first into standard form and then take it from there

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Isn't #26 already in standard form?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

no

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it would be difficult for you to factor if you do not make that into \(ax^3+bx^2+cx = 0 \)

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

make it quick, this should be like clock work

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Ok well would the final answer be x = -1/2 - √37/2 , 0 , -1/2 , √37/2 and 3 real roots?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

WTH laughing hysterically inside my head you did not even show you go got that

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

can you just do what I say first?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

nin I just needed my answer checked

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

so show your solution

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

how did you get those answer?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

3x^3 + 3x^2 - 27x = 0 3x(x^2 + x - 9) = 0 x = 0 x^2 + x = 9 x^2 + x + (1/2)^2 = 9 + 1/4 (x + 1/2)^2 = 37/4

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

x + 1/2 = ±√37/2 x = 1/2(-1 ± √37) x = -1/2 - √37/2 , 0 , -1/2 , √37/2 w 3 real roots.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

why did you make it like this x^2 + x = 9

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Idk I was trying to show every step even nuanced ones

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Was my answer right or wrong

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

IDK

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

yes it is correct
