4. Show that (x + 4), (x – 3) and (x - 7) are factors of x-6x2 - 19x +84 |

Answer» Answer: hope you understand! Step-by-step explanation: LET f(x)=x3-6x2-19x+84 be the given polynomial by the factor theorem, (x+4),(x-3)and (x-7) are the factors of f(x) if f(-4), f(3) and f(7) are all equal to zero. therefore, f(-4)=(-4)3 - 6(4)2 - 19(-4)+84 =-64-96+76+84 =-160+160 =0 also, f(3)=(3)3 - 6(3)2 - 19(3)+84 =27-54-57+84 =111-111 =0 and, f(7)=(7)3 - 6(7)2 - 19(7)+84 =243-294-133+84 =427-427 =0 |
