The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(3x^3 - 23x^2 + 72x - 70 = 0\) given that one root is \(3 + \sqrt{-5}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the roots Given that one root is \(3 + \sqrt{-5}\), we can express this as: \[ 3 + \sqrt{-5} = 3 + i\sqrt{5} \] Since the coefficients of the polynomial are real, the complex conjugate must also be a root. Therefore, the second root is: \[ 3 - \sqrt{-5} = 3 - i\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 2: Find the quadratic factor Let the roots be \(\alpha = 3 + i\sqrt{5}\) and \(\beta = 3 - i\sqrt{5}\). The quadratic factor corresponding to these roots can be written as: \[ (x - \alpha)(x - \beta) = (x - (3 + i\sqrt{5}))(x - (3 - i\sqrt{5})) \] Using the difference of squares: \[ = (x - 3)^2 - (i\sqrt{5})^2 \] Calculating this gives: \[ = (x - 3)^2 - (-5) = (x - 3)^2 + 5 \] Now expanding \((x - 3)^2\): \[ = x^2 - 6x + 9 + 5 = x^2 - 6x + 14 \] ### Step 3: Divide the original polynomial by the quadratic factor We will divide the original polynomial \(3x^3 - 23x^2 + 72x - 70\) by the quadratic factor \(x^2 - 6x + 14\) using polynomial long division. 1. Divide the leading term: \(3x^3 \div x^2 = 3x\). 2. Multiply \(3x\) by \(x^2 - 6x + 14\): \[ 3x(x^2 - 6x + 14) = 3x^3 - 18x^2 + 42x \] 3. Subtract this from the original polynomial: \[ (3x^3 - 23x^2 + 72x - 70) - (3x^3 - 18x^2 + 42x) = -5x^2 + 30x - 70 \] 4. Now divide the leading term: \(-5x^2 \div x^2 = -5\). 5. Multiply \(-5\) by \(x^2 - 6x + 14\): \[ -5(x^2 - 6x + 14) = -5x^2 + 30x - 70 \] 6. Subtract this from \(-5x^2 + 30x - 70\): \[ (-5x^2 + 30x - 70) - (-5x^2 + 30x - 70) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Find the remaining root The result of the division shows that: \[ 3x^3 - 23x^2 + 72x - 70 = (x^2 - 6x + 14)(3x - 5) \] Now, we can find the remaining root by setting \(3x - 5 = 0\): \[ 3x = 5 \implies x = \frac{5}{3} \] ### Conclusion The roots of the equation \(3x^3 - 23x^2 + 72x - 70 = 0\) are: 1. \(3 + i\sqrt{5}\) 2. \(3 - i\sqrt{5}\) 3. \(\frac{5}{3}\)
