f
OpenStudy (anonymous):
^F is false lmao
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you knw how to interpret synthetic division result ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
since, \(−6\) is on left side, you're dividing \((2x^2+9x−18)÷(x+6)\)

no :,(
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
okay, its easy... the division is shown in the given diagram
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at bottom row, you're seeing 0 in the end right ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
if u get a 0 in the end, then that means -6 is a root

OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okay!
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
since -6 is a root, (x--6) = (x+6) will be a factor as well
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would 6 also be a root cause its 0?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh lol just saw what u posted
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
cool :) -6 is root,
6 is not a root ok

wait, yea just noticed that lol so the answers are: -6 is a root, and 6 and -6 are factors?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so far, first 3 options are answers,
lets check others as well
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
u can strike off fourth option, cuz synthetic division oly says -6 is the root, we dont knw whether 6 will be root or not.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A is true

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
A, B, C are true
D is false
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
wat about E ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes because -6 is a factor?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f is false
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
-6 is a root.
its like this :-
if \(k\) is a root of a polynomial, then \((x-k)\) will be a factor

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
since \(-6\) is a root, \((x--6) = (x+6)\) will be a factor
so we cannot say much about option E. so strike it off false
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh I understand now!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you!
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good, wat about option F ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at the bottom row again,
u have :-
2 -3 0
2x-3

i worked it out and It came out as 2/3
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
we dont need to work :) just interpret the result :-
2x-3 is in the bottom row : that means 2x-3 is the quotient/result of the division.
so F is true.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
A, B, C and F are true.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thank you
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
np :) work 1-2 synthetic division problems... it wud make more sense good luck !
