Approximate the real number solution(s) to the polynomial function f(x) = x3 - 4x2 + x + 6.
x = -3, x = -1, x = 2
x = 3, x = 1, x = -2
x = 3, x = -1, x = 2
x = -3, x = 1, x = -2
Solution:
The given polynomial function is
f(x) = x3 - 4x2 + x + 6
Consider x = 3, x = -1 and x = 2
So we get
f(3) = 33 - 4(3)2 + 3 + 6
f(3) = 27 - 36 + 3 + 6
f(3) = 0
f(-1) = (-1)3 - 4(-1)2 + (-1) + 6
f(-1) = -1 - 4 - 1 + 6
f(-1) = 0
f(2) = 23 - 4(2)2 + 2 + 6
f(2) = 8 - 16 + 2 + 6
f(2) = 0
Therefore, the real number solutions are x = 3, x = -1 and x = 2.
Approximate the real number solution(s) to the polynomial function f(x) = x3 - 4x2 + x + 6.
x = -3, x = -1, x = 2
x = 3, x = 1, x = -2
x = 3, x = -1, x = 2
x = -3, x = 1, x = -2
Summary:
The real number solution(s) to the polynomial function f(x) = x3 - 4x2 + x + 6 are x = 3, x = -1 and x = 2.
