Solve the following equation for x 3x316x212x0Solution3x316x

Solve the following equation for x: 3x^3-16x^2-12x=0

Solution

3x^3-16x^2-12x=0

taking out x as common: x( 3x^2-16x -12) =0

x=0 ;

3x^2 -16x -12=0. Solve the quadratic :

3x^2 - 18x +2x -12=0

3x(x-6) +2(x-6) =0

(3x+2)(x-6) =0

x= 6 ; x=-2/3

Solution : x= 0 , -2/3 ,6
