g(x)=x^3+2x^2-17x+6

1)show that (x-3) is a factor of g(x)

2)hence express g(x) as a product of a linear factor and a quadratic factor

3)hence solve the equation g(x)=0 leaving any answers in an exact form

 

 

please can you put the number of the question before the answer as it is less confusing

thank u

3)

 

g(x) = 0 when x = 3, (-sqrt(33)-5)/2, (sqrt(33)-5)/2

1)

 

Applying the quadratic forumla gives us (x-3)(x^2+5x-2)
 

2)

 

(x-3)(x^2+5x-2)

Question 1 asks if x-3 is in the equation, which it does

 

Quesition 2 asks for the full expanded form

I don't think you can apply the quadratic formula to get question one.

1 and 2)

 

Using the Rational root theorem

 

\(\left(x-3\right)\frac{x^3+2x^2-17x+6}{x-3}\)

 

\(\frac{x^3+2x^2-17x+6}{x-3} = x^2+5x-2\)

 

\(\left(x-3\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)\)

 

 

 

3)

 \(0^3+0x^2-17\cdot \:0+6=6\)
