(a)
The zero or root feature using the graphical utility.
(a)
Answer to Problem 71E
The zeros are 2 and around
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given function is as shown below,
Formula used:
The horizontal axis represents the x-axis and the vertical axis represents y- axis.
Calculation:
Let us draw the graph of the function,
We can observe from the graph that the zeros are 2 and around
Conclusion:
The zeros are 2 and around
(b)
The exact values of one of the zeros.
(b)
Answer to Problem 71E
The exact zero of the function is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given function is as shown below,
Formula used:
The exact zero by putting
Calculation:
Let us find the one of the exact zero by putting
Hence, the exact zero of the function is
Conclusion:
The exact zero of the function is
(c)
The exact value using the synthetic division.
(c)
Answer to Problem 71E
The function will become
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given function is as shown below,
Formula used:
It is the long division of polynomials by divisors of the form x-k
Calculation:
Let us use the synthetic division to verify the result of part (b).
Synthetic division is a nice shortcut for long division of polynomials by divisors of the form x-k
The pattern for synthetic division of a cubic polynomial is summarized below
First we will have to set up an array,
Divisor
Quotient
Hence, x = 2 is a factor of the given polynomial function
Now, we can write the function as,
After factorizing the quotient,
Hence, after factorizing polynomial completely, the function will become
Conclusion:
The function will become
