let f(x) = 3x^2 - 3x + 1. The roots of f is the same as asking for x where f(x) = 0.

So we do it f(x) = 0, 3x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0. Using "complete the square" method

3(x^2 - x) + 1 = 0

3(x^2 + (2 . - 1/2 . x) + (-1/2)^2 -(-1/2)^2) + 1 = 0

3(x - 1/2)^2 -3/4 + 1 = 0

3(x - 1/2)^2 + 1/4 = 0

By the quadratic formula, the solution comes out to be

x = [3+√(-3)]/6 and x = [3-√(-3)]/6

or

x = (3+i√3)/6 and x = (3-i√3)/6

in other words, the solutions are complex numbers.

None, it involves the square root of a negative number so the roots are imaginary.


Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial of x2 plus 5x plus 9?

To find the roots of the polynomial (x^2 + 5x + 9), we can use the quadratic formula: (x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}). Here, (a = 1), (b = 5), and (c = 9). The discriminant (b^2 - 4ac = 5^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 9 = 25 - 36 = -11), which is negative. This means the polynomial has no real roots, but two complex roots: (x = \frac{-5 \pm i\sqrt{11}}{2}).

What is 4x squared plus 16x plus 15?

The expression (4x^2 + 16x + 15) is a quadratic polynomial. It can be factored into ((2x + 3)(2x + 5)). Alternatively, it can be analyzed using the quadratic formula to find its roots or solved for specific values of (x).
