Hello, in this video we are going to solve the
0:17
following fourth-degree equation.
0:19
To solve it, remember that
0:22
we need one side of the equation to be
0:24
the number 0 and the other side to have
0:27
first-degree polynomials
0:28
multiplying or dividing, and we don't
0:32
Therefore, we need to factor this
0:35
expression, but there is no
0:37
factorization case that we can apply.
0:39
Therefore, we are going to apply synthetic division.
0:42
Remember that for this, we must have
0:44
the polynomial organized in
0:46
descending order, that is, from the highest
0:49
power of the letter x to the lowest.
0:51
So, in this case, we already have it
0:53
organized. So we start with x to the
0:56
4th power, and the number that accompanies it is the
1:01
x to the 3rd power is accompanied by 2. It should continue with
1:06
If x to the 2nd power were not there, I would have to put
1:08
a 0. It is only in the present case. If it
1:11
were not there, perhaps 1, or if it were not there, x
1:16
power. All the smaller ones, perhaps 4, are fine. And in case they are not there, we
1:20
Here appears the one that accompanies it, perhaps
1:24
the one that accompanies it, perhaps the 18
1:28
and the constant term is
1:30
positive 12. These are the values we'll
1:33
use to perform the division.
1:37
Now we look at which number we can
1:40
Remember, we focus on the
1:42
constant term. The candidates for
1:45
an exact division are the divisors of
1:47
that number. 12 is divided by plus
1:53
plus and minus 2, plus and
1:56
minus 3, 4 and -4, plus 6 and -6,
2:02
and plus 12 and minus
2:08
these are the divisors of 12.
2:11
All these positive and
2:13
negative numbers. As you can see, we have several
2:15
options. If you want, you can choose them
2:18
randomly. I recommend doing it
2:19
in order. I'm going to try with a positive one.
2:23
Now remember how synthetic division is done: bring
2:26
down the first number and
2:29
start multiplying one by one. This gives me
2:31
one, and we place it below the
2:33
next number. Here we perform
2:36
addition or subtraction depending on the
2:38
signs. Two positive numbers and one positive number
2:41
gives us three positive numbers. We repeat the
2:43
process: one times three equals three, and minus
2:47
seven plus three gives me minus four.
2:51
1 x minus 4 = 4 - 8 -4 - 12 1 times negative
2:58
12 is negative 12 and 12 minus 12 gives me 0. In
3:03
this way we already found the first
3:06
exact division and it gives us when we have
3:08
the value 1. Remember how we found the
3:11
divisor polynomial, we say that x is equal
3:14
to this number and what we do is set it
3:16
equal to 0. x minus 1 is equal to zero, that is,
3:21
we divide this polynomial by
3:23
x and 1 and it gave us an exact division. What
3:26
would the result be? Then remember
3:28
that synthetic division lowered the
3:29
degree of the polynomial. If here it is perhaps
3:32
the 4th, the result of being x to the 3rd power, then it
3:34
would be 1 x to the 3rd power, which would be the same as
3:38
removing the cube alone, since there is no
3:40
need to put the 1. Positive 3
3:44
accompanied by x squared, which is what
3:45
comes after x, next to it is
3:48
perhaps 1. So negative 4 would accompany
3:51
x to the 1st power and then the independent term,
3:54
so it is the result of the division.
3:58
x, the divisor polynomial,
4:02
should give us the original polynomial.
4:05
So we already factored that
4:07
polynomial once and I am left with expressed as a
4:10
third-degree polynomial multiplied
4:12
by a first-degree polynomial, but as we
4:14
can see, we still need to
4:16
lower the degree. Therefore, I'm going to
4:19
apply synthetic division again to
4:20
factor this expression. We take
4:24
the coefficients, which are the values that
4:25
appear here, and I'm going to put them in to
4:28
do the synthetic division again.
4:30
We're going to continue dividing by the
4:33
other options we had, since we're still
4:34
with the number minus 2, and
4:36
so I already divided by plus 1. Now I'm going
4:39
to try with minus 1. We
4:41
start our synthetic division,
4:43
remember, by bringing down the first number and we
4:45
start multiplying. Minus 1 by
4:48
1 gives us minus 1 and 3. Minus 1
4:53
Now, minus 1 x 2 gives us minus 2 and minus
4:57
4. Minus 2 gives us minus 6. Now, minus 1
5:01
x minus 6 gives me positive 6 and minus
5:03
12. 6 minus 6. As we can see, this
5:08
division is not exact, therefore, minus
5:10
1 didn't work for us. So we're going to
5:13
try with another number.
5:15
We're going to try with positive 2.
5:19
We do the same procedure: bring down 1
5:21
and 2 times 1 would give me 2, 3 and positive 2 would give me
5:26
5 gives positive 2 times 5 is 10 and minus 4 +
5:32
10 gives me that device 2 times 6 gives me
5:35
12 and minus 12 12 is zero we find
5:40
another root of this polynomial which is the
5:43
number 2 what would be the divisor polynomial
5:45
then x is equal to 2 we set equal to 0 x
5:49
the 2 passes to subtract so here we are
5:53
dividing by x minus two let's see
5:55
what the result was the division since
5:57
the divisor polynomial was of third degree
5:59
now it will be of second degree
6:02
so it would be 1 x to the 2
6:11
notice x to the 2 x 1 and it ended
6:14
independent this expression
6:21
gives me this expression that I had here now
6:23
x x 1 gives me the original expression we already
6:29
have 2 polynomials of first degree and 1
6:31
of second degree if you want you can
6:34
apply synthetic division with the
6:37
values that we have left that are
6:39
divisors of 6 but here it is faster
6:41
if we apply the case of factorization
6:43
trinomial of the form x squared plus
6:45
bx plus c is much simpler since We
6:48
have a second-degree polynomial,
6:50
so I open the parentheses, take the square
6:55
root of the first one,
6:59
copy the plus sign, and here, plus times plus
7:01
gives me plus. I need two numbers that
7:04
multiply to give me 6 and add up to
7:07
5 because the signs are the same. The
7:09
numbers are 3 and 2. Remember to
7:13
always put the larger number in the first
7:16
bring down x2 and we bring down x1. This
7:22
means we have already managed to factor
7:24
this entire expression into four
7:27
first-degree polynomials. First, we did it as 9
7:30
third-degree and 1 first-degree, 1 second-degree and 2 first-degree, and
7:34
now we have 4 first-degree polynomials.
7:36
So, now that we have factored, we can
7:39
analyze our equation. We
7:42
already have our factored polynomial,
7:44
and on the other side, we have zero. So,
7:47
we can analyze polynomial by
7:49
polynomial. We have x + 3,
8:04
to draw a number line for each one.
8:07
Now I'm going to draw four
8:09
vertical lines because we have four
8:13
and now we are going to find the zeros of each
8:16
polynomial. This polynomial has at
8:18
least 0. 3, since negative three plus three equals
8:21
zero, this number minus two equals two
8:26
and this one equals one positive, since one
8:28
minus 10 equals ten. These numbers are the roots of
8:32
this polynomial; they are those by which,
8:34
doing synthetic division, I got
8:36
an exact division. Now I'm going to
8:39
place them as they go on the number line: to
8:41
the left, negative 3, then negative 2,
8:44
then positive 1, and to the right,
8:48
positive 2. Let's analyze the signs
8:51
of each polynomial. This polynomial is
8:53
made 0 by negative 3. Then this line will
8:56
divide its signs, as x is
8:59
positive, everything to the right is positive
9:04
and everything to its left is negative. Let's go
9:07
with x², x + 2 makes 0 in the number negative
9:11
2. Then it divides its signs into two
9:13
parts, as x is positive, everything to
9:16
the right is positive and everything to the
9:19
left must be negative. Now let's go
9:22
with x², the number 2 is what divides it,
9:25
as x is positive, everything to the
9:28
right of 2 is positive and everything to the
9:33
And finally, x¹, the number that makes it 0
9:37
is positive 1, and as x is
9:40
positive, everything to its right is negative. Positive and
9:43
all the left negative.
9:46
Remember that if any of these x's
9:48
were negative, we put a minus sign to the
9:50
right and a plus sign to the left.
9:53
Now, since we have multiplication, we're going
9:55
to multiply the signs, but remember
9:57
that it's enough to multiply only the minus signs, as they are the ones
9:59
that alter the result in
10:02
a multiplication of signs. The
10:04
plus sign doesn't affect the result. So,
10:07
minus x minus plus plus plus x minus minus and minus times minus
10:10
is plus, minus times minus plus and plus times minus
10:13
is minus, minus times minus plus.
10:17
Here I only have one minus sign, and
10:20
here everything is positive, so the result
10:21
is positive. Now we notice that they ask for
10:25
the numbers greater than or equal to 0;
10:27
those are the positive numbers. So,
10:30
the interval that goes from negative
10:32
infinity to negative 3 works for me,
10:36
and I make it a closed interval because
10:38
here they give me the option that it can be the
10:40
same as the union of the interval that goes from negative 2
10:44
to 1, which is also positive,
10:48
and we join that to this interval that goes
10:55
This would already be the solution set for
10:58
the proposed situation.
