Solve the cubic equation using factoring and the quadratic formula. x^3 - 216 = 0
(6, - 3 + 3i √3, - 3 - 3i√3)
Determine the discriminant of the quadratic equation. Use the value of the discriminant to determine whether the quadratic equation has two rational solutions, two irrational solutions, one repeated real solution, or two complex solutions that are not real. 5z^2 + 9z + 11 = 0
- discriminant: -139 - two complex solutions that are not real
Evaluate the discriminant for the following equation. Then use it to determine the number of distinct solutions, and tell whether they are rational, irrational, or nonreal complex numbers. 3x^2 + 4x +1 = 0
- discriminant: 4 - The equation has two distinct rational solutions.
