To tackle these cubic equations, let's dive into each one! For \( 3x^{3} - 7x^{2} + 4 = 0 \), you can use the Rational Root Theorem to test for possible rational roots. Check values like \( \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4 \), and \( \pm \frac{4}{3} \). After testing, you’ll find that \( x = 2 \) is a solution. After factoring out \( (x - 2) \), use synthetic division to simplify the cubic equation into a quadratic, which can then be solved using the quadratic formula. Moving on to \( x^3 - x^2 - 22x + 40 = 0 \), again, start by checking possible rational roots. Testing integers gives us that \( x = 2 \) works. You can factor out \( (x - 2) \) and perform synthetic division to obtain a simpler quadratic for further solutions. Remember, cubic equations often have one real root and two complex conjugate roots or three real roots, so always keep an eye out for additional solutions! Happy solving!
