General Formulas and Concepts:
Algebra I
- Roots are when the polynomial are equal to 0
Algebra II
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Function f(x) = x³ - 10x² + 27x - 12
Divisor/Root (x + 1)
Step 2: Synthetic Division
See Attachment.
To determine whether a given root is an actual root, the remainder must equal 0. Since we have a remainder of -50, the given root is not a factor of the polynomial.
