factor completely 2x^3+10x^2+14x+70
well to make it easier find the GCF
the gcf is 2
\[2(x^3+5x^2+7x+45)\] so then we simplify it
woops not 45... I meant 35 \[2(x^3+5x^2+7x+35)\]
thats what I got great thnx
Batameez dil manae na.
Since its a degree 3 polynomial you have to do the rational root test (find the zeros) and so when we do that we are looking for a rational #... http://www.mathportal.org/calculators/polynomials-solvers/polynomial-roots-calculator.php <---- heres a web site that calculates the roots (zeros) so our rational zero is 5
-5 not 5 what the heck
then you plug do \[(x^3+5x^2+7x+35)/(x+5)\] http://www.mathportal.org/calculators/polynomials-solvers/synthetic-division-calculator.php <----- here it explains how to divide the two
so then you put the two equations together and get \[(x+5)(x^2+7)\]
