Find the sum of (x + 5), (–4x –2), and (2x – 1).

PLEASE HELP!!!

-x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5 + -4x -2 + 2x -1 = -x -2

-x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 5), (-4x -2), and (2x -1)

x + (-4x) + 2x) + (5 + -2 + -1)

= -x + 2

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
