List all possible rational roots. then use synthetic division to confirm which rational roots exist:

2x ³+6x ²-1x-10=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x³+ 6x² - x - 10 = 0

(1) Possible roots

The Rational Roots Theorem states that, if a polynomial has any rational roots, they will have the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term  and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.

In your function, the constant term is -10 and the leading coefficient is 2, so

Factors of 10 = ±1, ±2, ±5, ±10

Factors of 2 = ±1, ±2

(2) Synthetic division

Rather than work through all 12 possibilities, I will do one that works.

So, x = -2 is a root, and the quotient is 2x² + 2x - 5.

(3) Check for other rational roots

2x² + 2x - 5 = 0

D = b² - 4ac =2²- 4(2)(-5) = 4 + 40 = 44

√44 = 2√11, which is irrational.

Since irrational roots come in pairs, the cubic equation has two real, irrational roots and one rational root at x = -2.

in the math equation 8 x 7 = 56, the 8 and the 7 are both factors of 56, since in this lesson we will use square tiles to figure out the factors of a whole find as many different arrays as you can, but follow one important rule: all the rows must have the i can make two rows of nine, so 2 and 9 are both factors of 18.
