      This is a very general method of solving cubic equations. You take an answer that is obvious and reduce the equation to second order. I know it is not very elegant, however if you don’t know the cubic formula it is often the best you can do unless the equation offers you very very VERY special circumstances.

    a³+a² =36
    a²(a+1)=36
    a²(a+1)=9×4
    a²>(a+1)
    By way of comparison,
    a²=9 and a+1=4
    a=√9 and a=4-1
    a=3 and a=3
    Finally, a=3.
    It's just a different perspective.

  • @HoSza1
    @HoSza1 3 місяці тому +11

    a=1? No... a=2? No... a=3? Yes!!! Let's divide a³+a²-36 ÷ a-3 = a²+4a+12. So the other two solutions: 2a=-4±√-32, two more complex roots a=-2+i√8 and -2-i√8.

    • @1234larry1
      @1234larry1 3 місяці тому +2

      So, what you’re saying is: find the real root first, which by inspection or synthetic division is 3. Dividing by (x-3) gives you a quadratic, with two complex roots.

    To really solve this just write a^2(a + 1) and notice that if a were to be an integer, it’s square must divide 36, and the only squares that divide 36 are 4, 9, and 36, so a must be 2, 3, or 6, from there, check

    Just replace 'a' by '1/b' to cast the equation in standard form then use Cardano (Tartaglia) equation to find one root and then divide by (b-root) to find the other two!

    If you are given that the solution is in integers, then a^2(a+1) = 36 means a is in {1,2,3,6} - and process of elimination gives an answer. If you do not know that a is an integer, then you can try to identify where there are roots to a^3 + a^2 - 36 = 0 and you quickly get (a - 3)(a^2 + 4a + 12) = 0, or a = 3, -2 +/- 4✓(-2)

      Yes, if you used synthetic division and divided a^3+a^2-36=0 by the factor of 3, you would get the quadratic equation of a^2+4a+12 and solving it would give you the complex roots.

  • @Philihp1012
    @Philihp1012 2 місяці тому

    Like they said, your solution presupposes to know the answer. Let’s do in another way.
    a^3 = 36 -a^2 = (6-a)*(6+a)
    Now, a^3 equals to a product of two factors; to get a product of two factors for a^3, you can decompose it this way only: a^2*a. Therefore
    a^2= 6+a and a = 6-a.
    From the second you get that a=3.
