Step 1 :Given the function \(g(x)=2x^3-2x+1\), we need to find the roots of the function by solving the equation \(g(x)=0\).
Step 2 :So, we have the equation \(2x^3-2x+1=0\).
Step 3 :We can simplify this equation by dividing the entire equation by 2, which gives us \(x^3-x+\frac{1}{2}=0\).
Step 4 :By inspection, we can see that \(x=1\) is a root of the equation because \(1^3 - 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1 - 1 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 0\).
Step 5 :So, \(x=1\) is a root of the equation.
Step 6 :To find the other roots, we can perform polynomial division or use the factor theorem to reduce the cubic equation to a quadratic equation.
Step 7 :The cubic equation \(x^3-x+\frac{1}{2}=0\) can be written as \((x-1)(Ax^2+Bx+C)=0\) where A, B, and C are constants to be determined.
Step 8 :Since we know that \(x=1\) is a root, we can substitute \(x=1\) into the original equation and solve for A, B, and C.
Step 9 :Doing so, we get the system of equations: \(A+B+C=0\), \(A+2B+4C=0\), and \(A+3B+9C=\frac{1}{2}\).
Step 10 :Solving this system of equations, we get \(A=1\), \(B=-2\), and \(C=1\).
Step 11 :So, the cubic equation can be written as \((x-1)(x^2-2x+1)=0\).
Step 12 :This can be further simplified to \((x-1)^3=0\).
Step 13 :So, the only root of the equation is \(x=1\) with multiplicity 3.
Step 14 :Therefore, the roots of the function \(g(x)=2x^3-2x+1\) are \(x=1\) with multiplicity 3.
Step 15 :\(\boxed{x=1}\) is the final answer.
