      You could factorize the second equation: x^4 (x - 3) + 3x^2 (x - 3) - 4 (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x^4 + 3x^2 - 4). You get one solution x = 3 and others will be 1, -1, 2i and -2i from the biquadratic equation taking x^2 = y and solve using shridharacharya formula. (x^2)^2 + 3(x^2) - 4 where x^2 = y so, it's y^2 + 3y - 4.

    Just wanna point out that this thing actually helped me in understanding the Rule of Signs. Although I'm really a good student in terms of maths, sometimes I go into roadblocks, and when I do, I refer to your channel to see where I missed. So far, you really had a good time explaining this! Thank you very much for this, and please continue doing the things that you love the most (helping other people understand maths)

      Nope because odd number changes the sign like -5*-5 = 25 but -5*-5*-5=-125 don't look at the numbers but the sign instead so odd exp change the sign and even exp don't change sign

    One way to avoid using synthetic division way is -
    x^5 - 3x^4 + 3x^3 - 9x^2 - 4x + 12 = 0
    x^4(x-3) + 3x^2(x-3) -4(x-3) = 0
    (x-3)(x^4 + 3x^2 - 4) = 0
    (x-3)(x^4 + 4x^2 - x^2 -4) = 0
    (x-3)(x^2(x^2+4)-1(x^2+1)) = 0
    (x-3)(x^2-1)(x^2+4) = 0
    So x= 3,1,-1, 2i,-2i
    So 2 positive ,1 negative, 2 imaginary

      @ayasuniverse 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe tovmake sure that our roots our correct, for instance if we said first that we'll have for example 3 positive roots and two imaginary ones, and after solving we have (for example 4 postive roots) than we'll conclude we made a mistake

      Descartes' rule of signs will narrow or lessen the number of choices of possible zeros when we are doing trial and error, by knowing how many negative , positive, or imaginary zeros that can be there, we will not waste our time finding more negative or positive zeros than how many it should be.

    • @ColombianThunder
      @ColombianThunder 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@010.gutierrezdarylljamesd.7 Really? I don't see it that way at all. It should be pointed out that I'm also very retarded but i digress. If i see that there are 18 possible zeros, and use Descarte's rule to find out that out of those 18, 4 of them are either positive or imaginary, then i still have to shoot in the dark 18 positive numbers to narrow it down, which to me is incredibly tedious. Of course i won't literally have to try them all, and with intuition you can guess which ones it won't be, but still. I hate it. Is there really no other way except this foggy (though with a slightly clearer path) trial and error? Would figuring out a better way be a mathematical breakthrough or has it been figured out this is the only way? Or is a better solution taught later on but requires more difficult concepts?

    Just feed the coefficients to a number crunching polynomial root finder softwate (like online Wolfram), and forget about Descartes Rule. Not to say that polynomial equations in real engineering are gonna look like: x^3 + 3.1567 x^2 - 0.198x + 45.934 = 0

    Mathematicians describe it like: (Descartes’ Rule of Sign). The number R of real roots of A(X ) in (0, ∞) is bounded by Var(A) and we have R ≡ Var(A) mod 2. Then Silvanus P. Thomson enters and says in the prologue of his magnificient book Calculus Made Easy this "The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics - and they are mostly clever fools - seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way."
