3x^3-x^2-3x+1 solve cubic polynomial
Answers
hi mate,
solution:
3x^3-x^2-3x+1
Factoring: 3x³-x²-3x+1
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: -3x+1
Group 2: 3x³-x²
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (-3x+1) • (1) = (3x-1) • (-1)
Group 2: (3x-1) • (x²)
-------------------
Add up the two groups :
(3x-1) • (x²-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
Factoring: x²-1
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A² - B² can be factored into
(A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A² - AB + BA - B²=
A² - AB + AB - B² =
A²- B²
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 1 is the square of 1
Check : x² is the square of x¹
Factorization is : (x + 1) • (x - 1)
Final result :
(x + 1) • (x - 1) • (3x - 1)
i hope it helps you..
