1 answer:
Answer:
Question 16
(a) x < 1 : the values of x are smaller than than 1 (e.g. possible values are 0, -1, -2, etc) and since the circle is not shaded it means that 1 isn't a possible value of x
(b) x -2 : the circle is filled therefore -2 is included in the answer
Question 17
(a) unfilled dot above -2 and arrow pointing to the left
(b) shaded circle above 4 with and arrow pointing to the right →

The remainder theorem says that if 
is a factor of a polynomial 
, then the remainder upon dividing 
is 0 so that there exists a lower degree polynomial 
as the quotient:
Using the fact that
is a factor, you can find a quadratic which is easy to factorize further.
Synthetic division yields
which can be factored further as
So,
The roots are then
