If <em>x</em> + 1 is a factor of <em>p(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ + <em>k</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> + 6, then by the remainder theorem, we have
<em>p</em> (-1) = (-1)³ + <em>k</em> (-1)² + (-1) + 6 = 0 → <em>k</em> = -4
So we have
<em>p(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ - 4<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> + 6
Dividing <em>p(x)</em> by <em>x</em> + 1 (using whatever method you prefer) gives
<em>p(x)</em> / (<em>x</em> + 1) = <em>x</em>² - 5<em>x</em> + 6
Synthetic division, for instance, might go like this:
-1 | 1 -4 1 6
... | -1 5 -6
----------------------------
... | 1 -5 6 0
Next, we have
<em>x</em>² - 5<em>x</em> + 6 = (<em>x</em> - 3) (<em>x</em> - 2)
so that, in addition to <em>x</em> = -1, the other two zeros of <em>p(x)</em> are <em>x</em> = 3 and <em>x</em> = 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanatiArea of Composite Shapes. Composite shapes are shapes that have a combination of 2-D shapes. To find the area of composite shapes you just need to break down the shape into individual pieces and calculate their separate pieces then add them back together again to find a total areaon:
The formula y = mx + b sometimes appears with
different symbols.
For example, instead of x, we could use the
letter C. Instead of y, we could use the letter F.
Then the equation becomes
F = mC + b.
All temperature scales are related by linear
equations. For example, the temperature in
degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of degrees Celsius.
Water freezes at: 0°C, 32°F
Water Boils at: 100°C, 212°F
