Question:

We can show a connection between dividing one polynomial by another and factoring the first polynomial. Let ƒ(x) = 2x2 + 5x - 12. Work Exercises in order.

Use the conclusion reached in Exercise 45 to decide whether x - 3 is a factor of g(x) = 3x3 - 4x2 - 17x + 6. If so, factor g(x) completely.


Data from in Exercise 45 

Complete the sentence: If ƒ(a) = 0, then x - is a factor of ƒ(x).
