Question

Please help me in solving this

Answer 1

a = 8, b= - 48, c = - 16

Explanation:

multiply through by 8x² to eliminate fractions

`x^(5)` - 16 = 48x² - 8x³ ( subtract 48x² - 8x³ from both sides )

`x^(5)` + 8x³ - 48x² - 16 = 0

compare the coefficients of like terms to

`x^(5)` + ax³ + bx² + c = 0

⇒ a = 8, b = - 48, c = - 16
