Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6

Also given that -3 is a root, which means (x+3) is a factor of f(x).

In order to find the other factors, we need to divide f(x) by (x-3)

or  (2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6) /  (x-3)

you can either use long division or synthetic division to perform this division, either way, you will end up with :

(2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6) /  (x-3) = (2x² + 3x -2) which is also a factor of f(x)

Hence f(x) can be expressed

f(x) = 2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6 = (x-3)(2x² + 3x -2)

We notice that for (2x² + 3x -2) you can further factor this using quadratic factoring (or your choice of method to solve quadratic equations).

By factoring, (2x² + 3x -2) = (2x-1) (x+2)

hence f(x) = (x-3)(2x² + 3x -2) = (x-3)(2x-1)(x+2)

Answer:

Identify the factor x+3 from the given root -3.

Use synthetic division to divide the polynomial by x+3.

Uses the bottom row of the synthetic division as coefficients in the quadratic 2x^2+3x-2.

Factor the quotient to find the two other factors: x+2 and 2x-1.

The Floyds have considered three options to ensure they have at least $1,375 saved for their trip.
ANTONII [103]

I am guessing you are talking about Option 3. They start with $125. So they times it by 1.25 as we are using the multiplier method. So in the First month, it will be 156.25. Second it will be 195.3125. So in August it will be $476.837157. Of couse round it and you will get $476.84.

I believe there is a more efficent way of doing this but I have forgotten.
