hello:) I need help with 11(ii). Question in the pic above:) Thank you in advance.

Answer:
it has 3 real roots!
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor of the equation is (x+1) &(x^2-4x-2)
since x+1 is it's factor so it's one root is x+1=0
i.e,x= -1
for other roots we have to factorise the quadrrstic equation
x^2-4x+2 , it's Discriminant is (-4)^2-4×2=8, it's positive , that means it have real roots
it's root is x= (4±√8)/2. [using roots equal to -b±√b^2-4ac/2a]
i.e, root is 2±√2 {they are real numbers}
i.e, quad eqn is {x-(2+√2)}{x-(2-√2)},
✌️:)
Answer:
Q11. i) f(x)= [tex]2x^{3} - 6x^{2} - 4x + 4[/tex]
ii) 3 real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached pictures for full solution.
For part (i), you forgot to multiply 2 with -2x. To check your answer, substitute -1 into f(x) since it is stated that -1 is a root of the equation f(x)=0. Ensure that the result is 0.
(ii) Factorise f(x) with the help of part (i) and the question. Note that it is ok to divide by 2 throughout for the third line of the working since 2 is a constant.
