What are the real or imaginary solutions of the polynomial x^3=9x

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

 x = 0, +\-3

Discussion:

x^3 = 9x              => subtract 9x from both sides

x^3 - 9x = 0         => factor x from both terms

x(x^2-9) = 0        => x = 0 or x^2 - 9 = 0

x = 0, +\-3

Thank you,

MrB

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
