A polynomial f (x) has the given zeros of 7, –1, and –3.
Part A: Using the Factor Theorem, determine the polynomial f (x) in expanded form. Show all necessary calculations. (3 points)
Part B: Divide the polynomial f (x) by (x2 – x – 2) to create a rational function g(x) in simplest factored form. Determine g(x) and find its slant asymptote. (4 points)
Part C: List all locations and types of discontinuities of the function g(x).
