obiv u gootaaaaaa go like now because like dang......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not gone, still here. takes a bit to solve

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

lets compare answers ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am thinking

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

I got D!

What are the answer choices

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

look ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find a number for which the equation becomes zero I plugged x= 1 and 2 and it worked for 2 ( this method is hit and trial so the easiest) this means that x-2 is a factor of the given polynomial. so use long division and divide the polynomial ( the left part of the equation) by (x-2) you'd get\[2x^2+5x+6\] as the quotient and on solving this quadratic equation you get the other two roots. the final answer is x = 2,-1,-3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer is correct :)

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

we got the same answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that's right, I got that but I'm confused so I wasn't sure
