Respuesta :

The number of real roots found are-

1. (x-4)(x+3)^2(x-1)^3=0 ; 6 real roots.

2. X^2(x^3-1)=0 ; 3 real roots.

3. X(x+3)(x-6)^2=0 ; 4 real roots.

4. 3x(x^3-1)^2=0 ; 3 real roots.

5. (x^3-8)(x^4+1)=0​ ; 1 real roots.

Define the term roots of polynomial?

  • If a root is not imaginary (defined as a number as in form a + bi, whereby I is a number which is not on any real number line, which is why the name imaginary), it is said to be real.

Consider the given cases-

1. (x-4)(x+3)^2(x-1)^3=0,

Put each equals zero.

x – 4 = 0 or (x + 3)^2 = 0 or (x – 1)^3 = 0,

Thus,

x = 4

x = –3 twice

x = 1 thrice

All are real numbers, thus given polynomial has 6 real roots.

2. x^2(x^3-1)=0

Put each equals zero.

x² = 0

x³ – 1 = x³ – 1³ = (x – 1)(x² + x + 1) = 0

The quadratic expressions has 2 imaginary roots.

Use the discriminant formula to find-

D = b² – 4ac = 1² – 4(1)(1) = 1 – 4 = –3 < 0.

Thus, roots that are not real.

So, the real roots of this polynomial : 0(twice) and 1.

Hence, thus given polynomial has 3 real roots.

3. x(x+3)(x-6)^2=0

Put each equals zero.

x = 0

x = 3

x = 6 twice

Hence, thus given polynomial has 4 real roots.

4. 3x(x^3-1)^2=0

Put each equals zero.

3x = 0 and  x = 0

(x^3 – 1)² = [(x – 1)(x² + x + 1)]² = (x – 1)²(x² + x + 1)² = 0,

Here, only two roots are real

The quadratic expression do have unreal roots, thus 1 twice are the real roots.

Hence, thus given polynomial has 3 real roots..

5. (x^3-8)(x^4+1)=0

Put each equals zero.

x³ – 8 = x³ – 2³ = (x – 2)(x² + 2x + 4) = 0

There is only one real root i.e, 2, the quadratic expression do have imaginary roots

Check using the discriminant formula

D = b² – 4ac = 2² – 4(1)(4) = 4 – 16 = – 12 < 0.

x⁴ + 1 = 0 has imaginary roots.

Hence, thus given polynomial has 1 real roots..
