Answer:D.) 3, √2, −√2


Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial: f(x)=x^3-3x^2-2x+6

Let's check all the given options, by substituting given value on x.

A.) −3, −√2, −√2

f(-3)=(-3)^3-3(-3)^2-2(-3)+6=-27-27+6+6=-42\neq 0

⇒ -3 is not a zero of given polynomial.

Thus, this not the required answer.

B.) 3, −√2, −√2

f(3)=(3)^3-3(3)^2-2(3)+6=27-27-6+6=0

f(-\sqrt{2})=(-\sqrt{2})^3-3(-\sqrt{2})^2-2(-\sqrt{2})+6\\\\=-2\sqrt{2}-6+2\sqrt{2}+6=0

But by Descartes rule of sigs , f(x) have 2 positive and 1 negative root.

Thus, this is not the right answer.

C.) −3, √2, √2

-3 is not a zero of given polynomial.

Thus, this not the required answer.

D.) 3, √2, −√2

f(-3)=(-3)^3-3(-3)^2-2(-3)+6=-27-27+6+6=-42\neq 0

f(\sqrt{2})=(\sqrt{2})^3-3(\sqrt{2})^2-2(\sqrt{2})+6\\\\=2\sqrt{2}-6-2\sqrt{2}+6=0

f(-\sqrt{2})=(-\sqrt{2})^3-3(-\sqrt{2})^2-2(-\sqrt{2})+6\\\\=-2\sqrt{2}-6+2\sqrt{2}+6=0

Thus, this is the right option to have zeroes of f(x).
