The sales in thousands of dollars that a store can make in one month is
\
The equation is .
\
Where No of days after the first day of the month.
.
Substiute in the equation
.
\
\
The equation can be written as .
Consider .
\
Identify Possible Rational Zeros:
\Usually it is not practical to test all possible zeros of a polynomial function using only synthetic substitution. The Rational Zero Theorem can be used for finding the some possible zeros to test.
\\
Because the leading coefficient is , the possible rational zeros are the intezer factors of the constant term
.
Therefore, the possible rational zeros of are
.
Consider .
Perform the synthetic substitution method by testing and
.
By using synthetic substitution, it can be determined that is a rational zero.
The depressed polynomial is .
Therefore, is a factor of
.
The obtained depressed polynomial has no real zeros.
Therefore, the zero is .
Thus, the store will make 16000 dollars in days.
The store will make 16000 dollars in days.
