x= -3/2
x= 3i
x= -3i
Explanation:
f (x) = 2x3 + 3x2 + 18x + 27
Set 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 18x + 27 equal to 0.
2x^3 + 3x^2 + 18x + 27 = 0
Solve for x.
Factor the left side of the equation.
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
x^2 (2x + 3) + 9 (2x + 3) = 0
Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 2x + 3. (2x + 3) (x^2 + 9) = 0
If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.
2x + 3 = 0
x^2 + 9 = 0
Set 2x + 3 equal to 0 and solve for x.
Set 2x + 3 equal to 0. 2x + 3 = 0
Solve 2x + 3 = 0 for x. Tap for more steps...
3 x = − 2
Set x2 + 9 equal to 0 and solve for x.
Set x2 + 9 equal to 0. x2 + 9 = 0
Solve x2 + 9 = 0 for x.
x = 3i, −3i
The final solution is all the values that make (2x + 3) (x2 + 9) = 0 true.
x = − 3/2 , 3i, −3i
