Checking for a perfect cube :
3.1 3m3 + 5m2 - 5m + 1 is not a perfect cube
Trying to factor by pulling out :
3.2 Factoring: 3m3 + 5m2 - 5m + 1
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: -5m + 1
Group 2: 5m2 + 3m3
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (-5m + 1) • (1) = (5m - 1) • (-1)
Group 2: (3m + 5) • (m2)
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 :
3.3 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(m) = 3m3 + 5m2 - 5m + 1
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of m for which F(m)=0
Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers m 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 3 and the Trailing Constant is 1.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1,3
of the Trailing Constant : 1
Let us test ....
P Q P/Q F(P/Q) Divisor
-1 1 -1.00 8.00
-1 3 -0.33 3.11
1 1 1.00 4.00
1 3 0.33 0.00 3m - 1
The Factor Theorem states that if P/Q is root of a polynomial then this polynomial can be divided by q*x-p Note that q and p originate from P/Q reduced to its lowest terms
In our case this means that
3m3 + 5m2 - 5m + 1
can be divided with 3m - 1
Polynomial Long Division :
3.4 Polynomial Long Division
Dividing : 3m3 + 5m2 - 5m + 1
("Dividend")
By : 3m - 1 ("Divisor")
dividend 3m3 + 5m2 - 5m + 1
- divisor * m2 3m3 - m2
remainder 6m2 - 5m + 1
- divisor * 2m1 6m2 - 2m
remainder - 3m + 1
- divisor * -m0 - 3m + 1
remainder 0
Answer is 3
