Given polynomial
.
(a) To show that (x – 3) is a factor of f(x).
Factor theorem:
<em>A polynomial f(x) has a factor of (x – a), if and only if f(a) = 0.</em>




= 0
f(3) = 0
Hence (x – 3) is a factor of f(x).
(b) 

Here
is common in first 2 terms and 2 is common in next 2 terms.

Now, (x – 3) is common in both terms.

and 
x = 3 and 
3 is the real root.
using quadratic formula solve
and find the other roots.





These are complex roots.
Hence 3 is the only real root of the equation f(x) = 0.

Answer: 12%
Step-by-step explanation:
Original amount = Rs 1550
VAT = Rs 1736 - Rs 1550 = Rs 186
VAT rate = VAT/Original amount × 100
= 186/1550 × 100
= 18600/1550
= 12%
Therefore, the VAT rate is 12%.
Check:
= Rs 1550 + (12% × Rs 1550)
= Rs 1550 + $186
= Rs 1736
