Question

use the following information to answer questions 10 - 11. the polynomial function $g(x)=2x^{3}+5x^{2}-28x - 15$ has a known factor of $(x - 3)$. 10. use polynomial division to show that $(x - 3)$ is a factor of $g(x)$. explain how you know. 11. rewrite $g(x)$ as the product of linear factors. $g(x)=$ (answer) 12. let $p$ be a polynomial function, and $p(x)=x^{4}-dx^{3}+8x^{2}-14x + 16$. if $(x - 2)$ is a factor of the polynomial, what is the value of $d$? explain or show how you know. 13. identify the number of real and non - real zeros for the polynomial $p(x)=\frac{1}{3}(x^{3}-x^{2}-x - 15)$. complete each blank in the statement below by circling the correct response. $p(x)$ has no or one or two or three real zero(s) (circle one) and no or one or two or three non - real zero(s) (circle one) 14. factor completely: $g(x)=3x^{3}-192$ $g(x)=$ (answer)

Explanation:

Response
10.

Step1: Perform polynomial long - division

Divide $g(x)=2x^{3}+5x^{2}-28x - 15$ by $(x - 3)$.
We know that if $g(x)=(x - 3)q(x)+r$, where $q(x)$ is the quotient polynomial and $r$ is the remainder.
Using polynomial long - division:
\[

$$\begin{align*} 2x^{3}+5x^{2}-28x - 15&=(x - 3)(2x^{2}+11x + 5)\\ \end{align*}$$

\]
The remainder $r = 0$.

Step2: Determine if it's a factor

Since the remainder of the division of $g(x)$ by $(x - 3)$ is $0$, by the factor theorem, $(x - 3)$ is a factor of $g(x)$.

Step1: Factor the quotient

We already found that $g(x)=(x - 3)(2x^{2}+11x + 5)$.
Factor $2x^{2}+11x + 5$:
\[

$$\begin{align*} 2x^{2}+11x + 5&=2x^{2}+10x+x + 5\\ &=2x(x + 5)+1(x + 5)\\ &=(2x + 1)(x+5) \end{align*}$$

\]

Step2: Write $g(x)$ as a product of linear factors

So $g(x)=(x - 3)(2x + 1)(x + 5)$.

Step1: Use the factor theorem

If $(x - 2)$ is a factor of $P(x)=x^{4}-dx^{3}+8x^{2}-14x + 16$, then $P(2)=0$ by the factor theorem.

Step2: Substitute $x = 2$ into $P(x)$

\[

$$\begin{align*} P(2)&=2^{4}-d\times2^{3}+8\times2^{2}-14\times2 + 16\\ &=16-8d + 32-28 + 16\\ &=(16 + 32+16-28)-8d\\ &=36-8d \end{align*}$$

\]

Step3: Solve for $d$

Set $P(2)=0$, so $36-8d=0$.
\[

$$\begin{align*} 8d&=36\\ d&=\frac{36}{8}=\frac{9}{2} \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

We performed polynomial long - division of $2x^{3}+5x^{2}-28x - 15$ by $(x - 3)$ and got a remainder of $0$, so $(x - 3)$ is a factor of $g(x)$.
