Answer:
(x + 8)(x - 2)(4x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that x = - 8 is a zero then (x + 8) is a factor
Divide f(x) by (x + 8) using Synthetic division
- 8 | 4 23 - 70 16
↓ - 32 72 - 16
---------------------------------
4 - 9 2 0
Quotient = 4x² - 9x + 2 = (x - 2)(4x - 1)
Thus
f(x) = (x + 8)(x - 2)(4x - 1)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 2 = 4
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
-4 + -1 = -5
-2 + -2 = -4
-1 + -4 = -5
1 + 4 = 5
2 + 2 = 4
4 + 1 = 5
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
