solve 24x^3-52x^2-60x=0

The equation will have 3 roots, since the maximum order of
polynomial is 3.


We'll factorize by x and we'll
get:


x(24x^2 - 52x - 60) =
0


We'll set each factor as
zero:


x1 =
0


and


24x^2 - 52x - 60 =
0


We'll divide by 4:


6x^2 -
13x - 15 = 0


We'll apply the quadratic
formula:


x1 = [-b+sqrt(b^2 -
4ac)]/2a


x1 =
[13+sqrt(169+360)]/12


x1 =
(13+23)/12


x1 = 3


x2 =
(13-23)/12


x2 = -10/12


x2 =
-5/6


The roots of the equation are: {-5/6 , 0
, 3}.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
