Question

synthetic division for f(x)=x3+13x2+22x-176

Answer 1

you need a divisor ... or at least a root to play with

Answer 2

i have, 1 2 44 8 11 16 22 44 88 176

Answer 3

are -1, -2 ,-44 and so on the factors also?

Answer 4

thenyou are apparently either bored and wasting time with nonsense; or you have had a seizure :/

Answer 5

thats not funny to joke about i hope you know that, i've worked out the problem but i cant finr the one that ends with 0

Answer 6

please verofy the question.,that equation has 2 complex roots and a real root as 2.718

Answer 7

it might not have a rational root

Answer 8

your not helping me. youre confusing me

Answer 9

if you are not getting ending as 0 with any integer,then you are correct
2.718 is the root,u will get a 0 with this number only
also other 2 roots are complex,impossible to find using synthetic division
so my guess is that the question is incorrect

Answer 10

if none of the rational roots work; that only leaves us with irrational, or complex roots

Answer 11

i still dont get it

Answer 12

if u use the root for synthetic division,then only u get 0 in the end
so,for this equation,if you use any integer for synthetic division,you will never get
in the end because,the roots of this equation are not integers at all

Answer 13

*u will never get 0 in the end

Answer 14

so then my answer is 0?

Answer 15

options given?

Answer 16

none

Answer 17

you have to show your work

Answer 18

@hartnn can help u then.. sorry

Answer 19

if the question is correct,then you cannot solve that equation by synthetic division
and no,answer is NOT 0 as 0 is not the root of the equation

Answer 20

then what would the answer be

Answer 21

because then its telling me that i have to find the zero and use the quadratic formula to find the other zeros

Answer 22

then i would request again to reverify the question,there must be some error in question
if its not ,then take 2.718 for synthetic division
it would be combersome but you will get a 0 in the end

Answer 23

ok thanks

Answer 24

2.718 is only an approximation since there are no rational roots
