Answer:
The factors of given polynomial x =-1 , -2 and x =3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-
Given the polynomial
f(x) = x³ - 7x -6
put x =-1
f(-1) = (-1 )³- 7(-1) - 6 = -1+7-6=0
(x+1) is a one factor
By using synthetic division
x³ x² x constant
x=-1 ↓ 1 0 -7 -6
<u>↓ 0 -1 1 6</u>
<u> 1 -1 -6 0 </u>
<u />
<em>The polynomial x² - x - 6 </em>
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
The factors ( x+1)(x² - x - 6 ) = 0
x = -1 and x² - x - 6 =0
x =-1 and x² - 3x + 2 x - 6 =0
x =-1 and x (x -3) + 2( x-3) =0
x =-1 and (x+2)(x-3) =0
<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>
The factors of given polynomial x =-1 , -2 and x =3
1, Might not be precise
2, Can be hard to plot the graphs
3, If there are many solutions that will be really hard to plot sometimes.
This is just from the top of my head.
