Solution - Factoring binomials using the difference of squares
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x5" was replaced by "x^5".
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(0 - (30 • (x2))) - 52x5Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(0 - (2•3•5x2)) - 52x5
Step 3 :
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
-25x5 - 30x2 = -5x2 • (5x3 + 6)
Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :
4.2 Factoring: 5x3 + 6
Theory : A sum of two perfect cubes, a3 + b3 can be factored into :
(a+b) • (a2-ab+b2)
Proof : (a+b) • (a2-ab+b2) =
a3-a2b+ab2+ba2-b2a+b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)+b3=
a3+0+0+b3=
a3+b3
Check : 5 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Polynomial Roots Calculator :
4.3 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = 5x3 + 6
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of x for which F(x)=0
Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers x which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers
The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number P/Q then P is a factor of the Trailing Constant and Q is a factor of the Leading Coefficient
In this case, the Leading Coefficient is 5 and the Trailing Constant is 6.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1,5
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,2 ,3 ,6
Let us test ....
