Question 92384 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II A

Which are solutions to the equation x3 – 5x2 + 2x + 6 = 0? Round each solution to the nearest tenth. Check all that apply.x = –0.9x = 0.8x = 1.7x = 4.2x = 6.0

Answer
A
x = –0.9
B
x = 0.8
C
x = 1.7
D
x = 4.2
E
x = 6.0

Explanation

Solving the cubic numerically gives roots of approximately −0.86, 1.68, and 4.18. Rounded to the nearest tenth, these are −0.9, 1.7, and 4.2, so the correct choices are x = −0.9, x = 1.7, and x = 4.2. The other listed values do not round to roots of the equation.
