SOLUTION: Identify all rational zeros for f(x) = x3 + 4x2 - 3x

SOLUTION: Identify all rational zeros for f(x) = x3 + 4x2 - 3x - 18

Question 201857: Identify all rational zeros for f(x) = x3 + 4x2 - 3x - 18
Answer by RAY100(1637) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y= x^3 +4x^2 -3x -18,,,,factors p/q = +/- 1,18,2,9,3,6, (factors 1st and last term)
.
use synthetic division ( or regular division) to define factors
.
,,,-3,,,,1,,,,4,,,,-3,,,,-18
.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,-3,,,-3,,,,,+18
_______________________________
,,,,,,,,,1,,,,1,,,,-6,,,,0,,,,,,,,,therefore (x+3) is factor,,,x=-3 is zero
,
remainder is,,,,1x^2 +1x -6,,,,,,which factors to
.
( x+3)(x-2)
.
final factors are (x+3)(x+3)(x-2),,,,zeros are x= -3,-3,+2
.
check by multiplying all factors together,,,ok
.
If graphing calc is available, input eqn and review graph.
