You can use Ruffini to find the roots:
3 + 12 +3 -18
1 +3 +15 +18
----------------------------------
3 +15 +18 0
-2 -6 -18
-----------------------------------
3 +9 0
-3 -9
----------------------
3 0
Then the roots are 1, -2 and - 3
Their sum is 1 - 2 - 3 = - 4
3 + 12 +3 -18
1 +3 +15 +18
----------------------------------
3 +15 +18 0
-2 -6 -18
-----------------------------------
3 +9 0
-3 -9
----------------------
3 0
Then the roots are 1, -2 and - 3
Their sum is 1 - 2 - 3 = - 4
The sum of the roots of the polynomial shown below is -4
Roots of a polynomial function
Polynomial functions are function that has a leading degree of 3 and above. Given the function below;
F(x)=3x^3+12x^2+3x-18
Factor out the GCF
f(x) = 3x^2(x + 4) 3(x - 6)
Since there is no common factor, we will use the synthetic division as shown
3 + 12 +3 -18
1 +3 +15 +18
----------------------------------
3 +15 +18 0
-2 -6 -18
-----------------------------------
3 +9 0
-3 -9
----------------------
3 0
From the division, we can see that the zeros are 1, -2 and - 3
Sum of zeros = 1 -2 - 3
Sum of zeros. = -4
Hence the sum of the roots of the polynomial shown below is -4
