Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to use synthetic division to do all of these. The thing to remember with these is that when you start off with a certain degree polyomial, what you get on the bottom line after the division is called the depressed polynomial (NOT because it has to math all summer!) because it is a degree lesser than what you started.
a. 3I 1 3 -34 48
I'm going to do this one in its entirety so you get the idea of how to do it, then you'll be able to do it on your own.
First step is to bring down the first number after the bold line, 1.
3I 1 3 -34 48
_____________
1
then multiply it by the 3 and put it up under the 3. Add those together:
3I 1 3 -34 48
3
----------------------------
1 6
Now I'm going to multiply the 6 by the 3 after the bold line and add:
3I 1 3 -34 48
3 18
_________________
1 6 -16
Same process, I'm going to multiply the -16 by the 3 after the bold line and add:
3I 1 3 -34 48
3 18 -48
___________________
1 6 -16 0
That last zero tells me that x-3 is a factor of that polynomial, AND that the depressed polynomial is one degree lesser and those numbers there under that line represent the leading coefficients of the depressed polynomial:
Factoring that depressed polynomial will give you the remaining zeros. Because this was originally a third degree polynomial, there are 3 zeros as solutions. Factoring that depressed polynomial gives you the remaining zeros of x = -8 and x = 2
I am assuming that since you are doing synthetic division that you have already learned the quadratic formula. You could use that or just "regular" factoring would do the trick on all of them.
Do the remaining problems like that one; all of them come out to a 0 as the last "number" under the line.
You got this!
Answer:
B, D
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve all equations:
A.
This is false equality, so this equation has no solutions.
B.
This equality is true for all values of x, so this equation has infinitely many solutions.
C.
This equation has the unique solution.
D.
This equality is true for all values of x, so this equation has infinitely many solutions.
E.
This equation has the unique solution.
If there are real roots to be found for this polynomial, the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division are the best way to find them. I teach from a book that uses c and d for the possible roots of the polynomial. C is our constant, 2, and d is the leading coefficient, 1. The factors of 2 are +/- 1 and +/-2. The factors for 1 are +/-1 only. Meaning, in all, there are 4 possibilities as roots for this polynomial. But there are only 3 total (because our polynomial is a third degree), so we have to find the first one, at least, from our possibilities above. Let's try x = -1, factor form (x + 1). If there is no remainder when we do the synthetic division, then -1 is a root. Put -1 outside the "box" and the coefficients from the polynomial inside: -1 (1 2 -1 -2). Bring down the first coefficient of 1 and multiply it by the -1 outside to get -1. Put that -1 up under the 2 and add to get 1. Multiply 1 times the -1 to get -1 and put that -1 up under the -1 and add to get -2. -1 times -2 is 2, and -2 + 2 = 0. So we have our first root of (x+1). The numbers we get when we do the addition along the way are the coefficients of our new polynomial, the depressed polynomial (NOT a sad one cuz it hates math, but a new polynomial that is one degree less than that of which we started!). The new polynomial is 
. That can also be factored to find the remaining 2 roots. Use standard factoring to find that the other 2 solutions are (x+2) and (x-1). Our solutions then are x = -2, -1, 1, choice B from above.
