(((2x2 - 5x) - ——) + 2x) - 3

x2

STEP

3

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x2 as the denominator :

2x2 - 5x (2x2 - 5x) • x2

2x2 - 5x = ———————— = ———————————————

1 x2

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

STEP

4

:

Pulling out like terms

4.1 Pull out like factors :

2x2 - 5x = x • (2x - 5)

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x • (2x-5) • x2 - (3) 2x4 - 5x3 - 3

————————————————————— = —————————————

5

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

5.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x2 as the denominator :

2x 2x • x2

2x = —— = ———————

1 x2

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

5.2 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = 2x4 - 5x3 - 3

Polynomial 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 integers
