Question 103234: I'm suppose to solve this problem by using synthetic division and the factor theorem. I already solved all of my homework problems, but this is the only one I cant figure out because of the fractions. Please help!! Tanks!!
Solve: +x%5E3-%285%2F6%29+x%5E2-%2822%2F3%29+x%2B5%2F2=0+
Answer by edjones(8007) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
multiply both sides times 6 to get rid of the fractions.
6x^3-5x^2-44x+15=0
Now you can use the sythetic division.
x=3 may be a zero, so try the division by (x-3)
