Solve Approximation 3x^3-x^2-9x-3=0 Tiger Algebra Solver

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

((3x3 - x2) - 9x) - 3 = 0

Step 2 :

Checking for a perfect cube :

2.1 3x3-x2-9x-3 is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

2.2 Factoring: 3x3-x2-9x-3 Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :Group 1: -9x-3 Group 2: 3x3-x2 Pull out from each group separately :Group 1: (3x+1) • (-3)Group 2: (3x-1) • (x2)Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails : The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

2.3 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = 3x3-x2-9x-3Polynomial 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 integersThe 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 CoefficientIn this case, the Leading Coefficient is 3 and the Trailing Constant is -3. The factor(s) are: of the Leading Coefficient : 1,3 of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,3 Let us test ....

Approximating a root using the Bisection Method :

We now use the Bisection Method to approximate one of the solutions. The Bisection Method is an iterative procedure to approximate a root (Root is another name for a solution of an equation).The function is F(x) = 3x3 - x2 - 9x - 3At x= -2.00 F(x) is equal to -13.00 At x= -1.00 F(x) is equal to 2.00 Intuitively we feel, and justly so, that since F(x) is negative on one side of the interval, and positive on the other side then, somewhere inside this interval, F(x) is zero Procedure :(1) Find a point "Left" where F(Left) < 0(2) Find a point 'Right' where F(Right) > 0(3) Compute 'Middle' the middle point of the interval [Left,Right](4) Calculate Value = F(Middle)(5) If Value is close enough to zero goto Step (7) Else : If Value < 0 then : Left <- Middle If Value > 0 then : Right <- Middle(6) Loop back to Step (3)(7) Done!! The approximation found is MiddleFollow Middle movements to understand how it works :
