Question

(x-5) is a factor of a cubic polynomial X^3 - 3root5 x^2 + 13x - 3root5 find all the zeroes​

Answer 1

Answer:

x- √5 is its factor not x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey

Here is your answer,

Sol :

given that x-√5 is a factor of the cubic polynomial x3-3√5x2+13x-3√5

x-√5 ) x3-3√5x2+13x-3√5 ( x2 -2√5x + 3

x3- √5x2 ( substract )

-------------------------------

- 2√5x2+13x

- 2√5x2+10x ( substract )

------------------------------

3x - 3√5

3x - 3√5 ( substract )

------------------------

0

∴ The quotient is x2 -2√5x + 3 = 0

Using roots of quadratic formula

a = 1, b = 2√5, c = 3

x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac) ) / 2a

x = (2√5 ± √((2√5)2 - 12) ) / 2

∴ the other zeros are x = √5 ± √2.

Hope it helps you.
