If that is what it looks like it is, 12 divided by -6 is -2, the a's cancel out, the y's cancel out, and you're left with -2b. I'm not sure what else this could be.
Using synthetic division, you can find the quadratic factor to be
.. 2x^2 -3x +1
That, in turn, factors as
.. (2x -1)(x -1)
So the complete factorization is
.. (2x -1)(x -1)(x +3)
and the zeros are confirmed by a graphing calculator to be
.. x = 1/2, 1, -3
So first sivid 42 by 3 to get 14. Then multiply 14 by 4 to get 56. So the answer is C
The correct answer would be B, -1/6
