What is the formula for using special products to rewrite a polynomial as a product of factors? ex. = ____________________-
-----
1st: Find the roots: x=r1, x=r2
2nd f(x) = (x-r1)(x-r2)
-----
Your Problem:
x = [-3 +- sqrt(9-4*1*-2)]/2
---
x = [-3 +- sqrt(17)]/2
---
r1 = (-3/2)+(1/2)sqrt(17)
r2 = (-3/2)-(1/2)sqrt(17)
