    By inspection m is - 3. Use synthetic division to get the other factor with (x+3) as one factor. Use the quadratic formula to get the other 2 roots. Simple, straight forward and easy. Thanks. 😢

    The difference between a square and a number of cubs is positive. It implies the number is negative. m = - 3 whose square and cubs satisfy the condition.

    Trivial problem. -3 by inspection. Then m^3-m^2+36=0. Divide lhs by x+3. Solve.
    If it takes 20 min consider a non science degree.

      @ what you say is correct, however it’s presented as a University entrance problem. It isn’t, it’s a very early problem on solving higher order equations. There is simply no need to intimidate people watching to learn by producing lengthy algebra solutions which aren’t necessary.

    easy: factor left side
    m²(1 − m) = 36
    then, since 36 and m² are positive, 1 − m must be positive so m < 0, then m must be -3 since (-3)² (1 − -3) = 36

      @ stating the obvious? I could just plug numbers in like a trained monkey and that would eventually solve the problem. The truth is, a solution is BETTER when it is simpler and fast. Running through an algebraic humdrum like done here is a complete waste of time. And then the attitude that went along with that solution was wrong. STEM is not a club for which only some get to be a part. Everyone who likes to think gets to join. Choose a non-stem field if you can’t do this? That’s crap. This guy shouldn’t be in a STEM field.

    Instead of just using inspection to find -3 as a solution as some other commentors have suggested, consider the following:
    First of all, we look for an integer solution.
    Factoring the LHS we get m^2 (1-m) = 36
    Consider now how 36 can be factored into a perfect square (m^2) and another integer (1-m):
    36*1 or 9*4 or 4*9 or 1*36.
    So we have the 4 cases:
    (Case 1) m^2 = 36 and 1-m = 1 hence m = 6 or -6, while m=0 (a contradiction)
    (Case 2) m^2 = 9 and 1-m = 4 hence m = 3 or -3 while m=-3 ( m=-3 is a SOLUTION)
    (Case 3) m^2 = 4 and 1-m = 9 hence m = 2 or -2 while m=-8 (a contradiction)
    (Case 4) m^2 = 1 and 1-m = 36 hence m = 1 or -1 while m=-35 (a contradiction)
    Now with m=-3 as a solution, we know m+3 is a factor of the polynomial m^3-m^2+36 so by division we can get m^2-4m+12 as the other factor - then the Quadratic Formula will give us the other two (complex) solutions to our problem.

    [m^3 + 3m^2 - 4^m^2 - 12m + 12m + 36]/(m+3) = m^2 -4m +12

    • @paulfellows5411
      @paulfellows5411 20 днів тому

      This was not a guess. It was analysis.
      1: factorise both sides to see into the mathematical structure of the formulation
      2: note that both sides then contain a repeated term.
      3: test what happens if these two squares are presumed equal and discover the answer.
      It is not “guessing”. It is “insight” into the structure of the question.
      If you don’t like that, don’t set a question for which the answer is so easily found.

    m² - m³ = 36 = (9)(4) = (9)(1 + 3) = 3² + 3³ = (- 3)² - (- 3)³; m = - 3
    Find the missing two complex value roots by solving the cubic equation;
    m³ - m² + 36 = 0, m + 3 is a factor of the equation,
    (m³ - m² + 36)/(m + 3) = m² - 4m + 12 = 0, m² - 4m + 4 = (m - 2)² = - 8 = (i2√2)²
    m - 2 = ± i2√2; m = 2 ± i2√2 = 2(1 ± i√2)
    Answer check:
    m = - 3: m² - m³ = 36; Confirmed as shown
    m = 2(1 ± i√2), m² - 4m + 12 = 0, m² = 4m - 12
    m² - m³ = m²(1 - m) = (4m - 12)(1 - m) = 4m - 12 - 4m² + 12m = 16m - 4m² - 12
    = 16m - 4(4m - 12) - 12 = 48 - 12 = 36; Confirmed
    Final answer:
    m = - 3, Two complex value roots; x = 2(1 + i√2) or x = 2(1 - i√2)

    m^2 - m^3 = 36
    m^3 - m^2 + 36 = 0
    (m + 3)(m^2 - 4m + 12) = 0
    m = -3, 2 +/- 2i✓2
