Question

Use synthetic division amd the given factor to complete factor each polynomial function y=x^3 +2x^2-5x-6;(x+1)

Answer 1

x^2+x-6 r=0

Answer 2

hope that helped :)

Answer 3

so you find the coefficent for all of the parts....

Answer 4

the coefficent for x^3 is 1 since there isn't a number infront of x
the coefficent for 2x^2 is 2
the coefficent for -5x is -5 and
the coefficent for -6 is -6

Answer 5

after you find that you solve for (x+1) and you get x=-1

Answer 6

get it so far?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

oky then you set it up like this

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

after you do that you do this-
you bring down 1

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

then you muliply -1 and 1 like this and then subtract like in normal division

Answer 13

ok I have a quick ? on the second step after I find the coefficient where do you gt the x=-1?

Answer 14

you solve for x so you subtrat the 1 getting x=-1

Answer 15

ohhh

Answer 16

yeah

Answer 17

so next you do this

Answer 18

got it. Thank you so much. Ok i just did this one on my own. tell me if I have it right

Answer 19

kay show me

Answer 20

y=x^3-4x^3-4x^2-9x+36; (x+3)
my answer to this ons x^2+x-12=r=0

Answer 21

i got -3x^2+5x-24 r 108

Answer 22

:-( grrr let me try to see if I come up with your answer to see whre I mess up

Answer 23

don't forget to simplify

Answer 24

my coefficients are 1-4-9+36

Answer 25

ok x^3 - 4x^3 = -3x^3

Answer 26

omg I'm getting frustrate it.

Answer 27

lol, just take a deep breathe it will come to you soon, remember if there is a minus sign in front of a number it means it's negative so you could always think of it as 1 + (-4)
