Question

The polynomial p(x)=x^3-6x^2+32p(x)=x 3 −6x 2 +32p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, x, cubed, minus, 6, x, squared, plus, 32 has a known factor of (x-4)(x−4)left parenthesis, x, minus, 4, right parenthesis. Rewrite p(x)p(x)p, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis as a product of linear factors.

Answer 1

Answer:

(x-4)(x-4)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given p(x) = x^3-6x^2+32 when it is divided by  x - 4, the quotient gives

x^2-2x-8

Q(x) = P(x)/d(x)

x^3-6x^2+32/x- 4  =  x^2-2x-8

Factorizing the quotient

x^2-2x-8

x^2-4x+2x-8

x(x-4)+2(x-4)

(x-4)(x+2)

Hence the polynomial as a product if linear terms is (x-4)(x-4)(x+2)
