\underline{\textbf{Given:}}

\mathsf{Two\;zeroes\;of\;P(x)=x^3+2x^2-9x-18\;are\;3\;and\;-3}

\underline{\textbf{To find:}}

\textsf{Other zero of the polynomial}

\underline{\textbf{Solution:}}

\mathsf{Consider,}

\mathsf{P(x)=x^3+2x^2-9x-18}

\mathsf{Factorizing,}

\mathsf{P(x)=x^2(x+2)-9(x+2)}

\mathsf{P(x)=(x^2-9)(x+2)}

\mathsf{P(x)=(x^2-3^2)(x+2)}

\mathsf{P(x)=(x+3)\,(x-3)\,(x+2)}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;(\because\;\;\bf\,a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b))

\mathsf{P(x)=(x-3)\,(x+3)\,(x+2)}

\mathsf{Now,}

\mathsf{P(x)=0}

\mathsf{(x-3)\,(x+3)\,(x+2)=0}

\mathsf{x=3,\;-3,\;-2}

\underline{\textbf{Answer:}}

\textbf{Other zero is -2}
