b) Solve the equation x 3 + 2 x 2 − 2 x − 1 = 0 x^{3} + 2x^{2} - 2x - 1 = 0 x 3 + 2 x 2 − 2 x − 1 = 0 using Cardano's method.
c) Write the systems obtained in 6(a) and 6(b) in matrix form.
Solution
a) We have a cubic equation
x 3 + a x 2 + b x + c = 0. x^{3} + a x^{2} + b x + c = 0. x 3 + a x 2 + b x + c = 0.
Let the roots be denoted α , β , γ \alpha, \beta, \gamma α , β , γ .
We know that α + β + γ = 3 \alpha + \beta + \gamma = 3 α + β + γ = 3 ; α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 = 11 \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = 11 α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 = 11 ; α 3 + β 3 + γ 3 = 27 \alpha^3 + \beta^3 + \gamma^3 = 27 α 3 + β 3 + γ 3 = 27 .
then by Vieta's formula α + β + γ = − a = 3 \alpha + \beta + \gamma = -a = 3 α + β + γ = − a = 3 , ( α β + β γ + γ α ) = b (\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha) = b ( α β + β γ + γ α ) = b , α β γ = c \alpha\beta\gamma = c α β γ = c .
α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 = ( α + β + γ ) 2 − 2 ( α β + β γ + γ α ) → → 2 b = 2 ( α β + β γ + γ α ) = ( α + β + γ ) 2 − ( α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 ) = 3 2 − 11 = − 2. \begin{array}{l}
\alpha^{2} + \beta^{2} + \gamma^{2} = (\alpha + \beta + \gamma)^{2} - 2(\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha) \rightarrow \\
\rightarrow 2b = 2(\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha) = (\alpha + \beta + \gamma)^{2} - (\alpha^{2} + \beta^{2} + \gamma^{2}) = 3^{2} - 11 = -2.
\end{array} α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 = ( α + β + γ ) 2 − 2 ( α β + β γ + γ α ) → → 2 b = 2 ( α β + β γ + γ α ) = ( α + β + γ ) 2 − ( α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 ) = 3 2 − 11 = − 2.
Then
a = − 3 , b = − 1. a = -3, b = -1. a = − 3 , b = − 1.
Substituting α , β , γ \alpha, \beta, \gamma α , β , γ in the original equation and adding:
( α 3 + β 3 + γ 3 ) − 3 ( α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 ) − ( α + β + γ ) + 3 c = 0 → 27 − 3 ⋅ 11 − 3 + 3 c = 0 → c = 3. (\alpha^{3} + \beta^{3} + \gamma^{3}) - 3(\alpha^{2} + \beta^{2} + \gamma^{2}) - (\alpha + \beta + \gamma) + 3c = 0 \rightarrow 27 - 3 \cdot 11 - 3 + 3c = 0 \rightarrow c = 3. ( α 3 + β 3 + γ 3 ) − 3 ( α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 ) − ( α + β + γ ) + 3 c = 0 → 27 − 3 ⋅ 11 − 3 + 3 c = 0 → c = 3.
So the original equation is
x 3 − 3 x 2 − x + 3 = 0. x 2 ( x − 3 ) − ( x − 3 ) = ( x − 3 ) ( x 2 − 1 ) = ( x − 3 ) ( x − 1 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0. \begin{array}{l}
x^{3} - 3x^{2} - x + 3 = 0. \\
x^{2}(x - 3) - (x - 3) = (x - 3)(x^{2} - 1) = (x - 3)(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0.
\end{array} x 3 − 3 x 2 − x + 3 = 0. x 2 ( x − 3 ) − ( x − 3 ) = ( x − 3 ) ( x 2 − 1 ) = ( x − 3 ) ( x − 1 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0.
Since the roots of the equation x 3 − 3 x 2 − x + 3 = 0 x^{3} - 3x^{2} - x + 3 = 0 x 3 − 3 x 2 − x + 3 = 0 are -1; 1; 3.
Answer: x 3 − 3 x 2 − x + 3 = 0 x^{3} - 3x^{2} - x + 3 = 0 x 3 − 3 x 2 − x + 3 = 0 and -1; 1; 3.
b) x 3 + 2 x 2 − 2 x − 1 = 0 x^{3} + 2x^{2} - 2x - 1 = 0 x 3 + 2 x 2 − 2 x − 1 = 0
x = t − 2 3 → t 3 + p x + q = 0 , x = t - \frac{2}{3} \rightarrow t^{3} + p x + q = 0, x = t − 3 2 → t 3 + p x + q = 0 ,
where p = − 2 − 2 2 3 = − 10 3 p = -2 - \frac{2^2}{3} = -\frac{10}{3} p = − 2 − 3 2 2 = − 3 10 and q = − 1 + 2 ⋅ 2 3 − 9 ⋅ 2 ( − 2 ) 27 = 25 27 q = -1 + \frac{2 \cdot 2^3 - 9 \cdot 2(-2)}{27} = \frac{25}{27} q = − 1 + 27 2 ⋅ 2 3 − 9 ⋅ 2 ( − 2 ) = 27 25 .
x 1 = − 3 25 27 ⋅ 2 + ( 25 27 ⋅ 2 ) 2 + ( − 10 3 ) 3 27 + − 3 25 27 ⋅ 2 − ( 25 27 ⋅ 2 ) 2 + ( − 10 3 ) 3 27 . x_{1} = \sqrt[3] -\frac{25}{27 \cdot 2} + \sqrt{(\frac{25}{27 \cdot 2})^{2} + \frac{(-\frac{10}{3})^{3}}{27}} + \sqrt[3] -\frac{25}{27 \cdot 2} - \sqrt{(\frac{25}{27 \cdot 2})^{2} + \frac{(-\frac{10}{3})^{3}}{27}}. x 1 = 3 − 27 ⋅ 2 25 + ( 27 ⋅ 2 25 ) 2 + 27 ( − 3 10 ) 3 + 3 − 27 ⋅ 2 25 − ( 27 ⋅ 2 25 ) 2 + 27 ( − 3 10 ) 3 .
In this case ( 25 27 ⋅ 2 ) 2 + ( − 10 3 ) 3 27 < 0 \left(\frac{25}{27 \cdot 2}\right)^{2} + \frac{\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)^{3}}{27} < 0 ( 27 ⋅ 2 25 ) 2 + 27 ( − 3 10 ) 3 < 0 . This entails finding the cube roots of complex numbers.
That's why the Cardano's method cannot be applied to this problem.
But it is easy to see that x = 1 x = 1 x = 1 is the root of equation. Then
x 3 + 2 x 2 − 2 x − 1 = ( x − 1 ) ( x 2 + 3 x + 1 ) = 0. x ^ {3} + 2 x ^ {2} - 2 x - 1 = (x - 1) \left(x ^ {2} + 3 x + 1\right) = 0. x 3 + 2 x 2 − 2 x − 1 = ( x − 1 ) ( x 2 + 3 x + 1 ) = 0.
We have
( x 2 + 3 x + 1 ) = 0 → x 1 , 2 = − 3 ± 3 2 − 4 2 . (x ^ {2} + 3 x + 1) = 0 \rightarrow x _ {1, 2} = \frac {- 3 \pm \sqrt {3 ^ {2} - 4}}{2}. ( x 2 + 3 x + 1 ) = 0 → x 1 , 2 = 2 − 3 ± 3 2 − 4 .
The roots of equation are 1; − 3 + 5 2 ; − 3 − 5 2 \frac{-3 + \sqrt{5}}{2}; \frac{-3 - \sqrt{5}}{2} 2 − 3 + 5 ; 2 − 3 − 5 .
c) 6(a):
{ x − 3 y + 4 z = 9 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 7 y − 2 x = 5 − 10 z → { x − 3 y + 4 z = 9 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 7 − 2 x + y + 10 z = 5 . \left\{ \begin{array}{l} x - 3 y + 4 z = 9 \\ 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 7 \\ y - 2 x = 5 - 10 z \end{array} \right. \to \left\{ \begin{array}{l} x - 3 y + 4 z = 9 \\ 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 7 \\ - 2 x + y + 10 z = 5 \end{array} \right.. ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ x − 3 y + 4 z = 9 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 7 y − 2 x = 5 − 10 z → ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ x − 3 y + 4 z = 9 4 x + 3 y + 2 z = 7 − 2 x + y + 10 z = 5 .
The matrix form is
( 1 − 3 4 4 3 2 − 2 1 10 ) ( x y z ) = ( 9 7 5 ) . \left( \begin{array}{c c c} 1 & - 3 & 4 \\ 4 & 3 & 2 \\ - 2 & 1 & 10 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} 9 \\ 7 \\ 5 \end{array} \right). ⎝ ⎛ 1 4 − 2 − 3 3 1 4 2 10 ⎠ ⎞ ⎝ ⎛ x y z ⎠ ⎞ = ⎝ ⎛ 9 7 5 ⎠ ⎞ .
6(b):
{ 12 x + 8 y = 440 5 x + 3 y = 175 \left\{ \begin{array}{l} 12 x + 8 y = 440 \\ 5 x + 3 y = 175 \end{array} \right. { 12 x + 8 y = 440 5 x + 3 y = 175
The matrix form is
( 12 8 5 3 ) ( x y ) = ( 440 175 ) . \left( \begin{array}{c c} 12 & 8 \\ 5 & 3 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} 440 \\ 175 \end{array} \right). ( 12 5 8 3 ) ( x y ) = ( 440 175 ) .
