The polynomial function is .
Graph :
\Draw a coordinate plane.
\Graph the function .
The graph of the function is :
Observe the graph :
\The solid dots represent the roots of the polynomial function.
\From the graph and
are the roots.
So and
are the factors of given polynomial function.
The polynomial function is .
The factors are and
.
Perform the synthetic division method to test each factor.
\Synthetic division for factor .
The divisor is in the form of .
The remainder is .
So is a factor of
.
Now test the second factor with the obtained depressed factor
.
Synthetic division for factor .
The divisor is in the form of .
The remainder is .
So is a factor of
.
The depressed polynomial is .
Graph :
\The graph of the depressed polynomial is :
Observe the graph :
\The solid dot represent the root of the polynomial function.
\From the graph is the root.
So is the factor of
.
Now test the factor with the obtained depressed factor
.
Synthetic division for factor .
The divisor is in the form of .
Because the remainder when the depressed polynomial is divided by is
.
is a repeated factor of
.
So is a factor of
.
The quotient can be written as .
