What is the complete factorization of the polynomial below?
x^3+x^2+9x+9

A. (x+1)(x+3i)(x-3i)
B. (x+1)(x+3i)(x+3i)
C. (x-1)(x+3i)(x-3i)
D. (x-1)(x+3i)(x+3i)

Respuesta :

Option A: [tex](x+1)(x+3 i)(x-3 i)[/tex] is the complete factorization of the polynomial [tex]x^{3} +x^{2} +9x+9[/tex]

Explanation:

The polynomial is [tex]x^{3} +x^{2} +9x+9[/tex]

Now, we shall find the complete factorization of the polynomial.

Let us group the common terms, we have,

[tex]\left(x^{3}+x^{2}\right)+(9 x+9)[/tex]

Taking out the common terms,

[tex]x^{2} (x+1)+9(x+1)[/tex]

Factor out [tex]x+1[/tex] from both the terms, we have,

[tex]\left(x^{2}+9\right)(x+1)=0[/tex]

The term [tex]\left(x^{2}+9)\right.[/tex] can be factored as

[tex]\begin{aligned}x^{2}+9 &=0 \\x^{2} &=-9 \\x &=\pm 3 i\end{aligned}[/tex]  and [tex]\begin{aligned}x+1 &=0 \\x &=-1\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, the roots are [tex]x=\pm 3 i[/tex] and [tex]x=-1[/tex]

These roots can be written as [tex](x+1)(x+3 i)(x-3 i)[/tex]

Thus, the complete factorization of the polynomial is [tex](x+1)(x+3 i)(x-3 i)[/tex]
