You can model the population of a certain city between 1955-2000 by the radical function
P(x) = 55,000./7-1,945. Using this model, in which year was the population of that city 275,000?

Complete Question:

You can model the population of a certain city between 1955-2000 by the radical function

P(x) = 55,000 sqrt x-1945

Using this model, in which year was the population of that city 275,000?

In 1970 population of that city is 275,000

Solution:

Given that,

You can model the population of a certain city between 1955-2000 by the radical function :

To find: year in which was the population of that city 275,000

Therefore,

x = ?

P(x) = 275000

Thus we get,

Thus, in 1970 population of that city is 275,000

Checking for a perfect cube :

3.1    3x4 + 2x2 - 6x + 1  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

3.2      Factoring:  3x4 + 2x2 - 6x + 1  

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  -6x + 1  

Group 2:  3x4 + 2x2  

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (-6x + 1) • (1) = (6x - 1) • (-1)

Group 2:   (3x2 + 2) • (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 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

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

     1       3        0.33        -0.74      

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

  3x4 + 2x2 - 6x + 1  

can be divided with  x - 1
