Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(0 - 33x4) + 8
Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
2.1 Factoring: 8-27x4
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 : 8 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the
difference of two perfect squares
Polynomial Roots Calculator :
2.2 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = -27x4+8
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 8 and the Trailing Constant is -27.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1,2 ,4 ,8
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,3 ,9 ,27
Let us test ....
P | Q | P/Q | F(P/Q) | Divisor | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-1 | 1 | -1.00 | -19.00 | ||||||
-1 | 2 | -0.50 | 6.31 | ||||||
-1 | 4 | -0.25 | 7.89 | ||||||
-1 | 8 | -0.12 | 7.99 | ||||||
-3 | 1 | -3.00 | -2179.00 |
Note - For tidiness, printing of 27 checks which found no root was suppressed
Polynomial Roots Calculator found no rational roots
Final result :
8 - 27x4
