Answer:
p(x) = 2x^2 - 7x - 15
p(x) = 2x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0
[ for writing the polynomial p(x) = 2x^2 - 7x - 15 as the product of two first degree polynomials , we need to find the value of x first ]
Step-by-step explanation ;
x = -b +
a = 2
b = -7
c = -15
x = -b +
= - (-7) + x 2 x (-15) / 2 x 2
= 7 +
= 7 +
= 7 + / 4
= 7 + 13 / 4
x = 7 + 13 / 4 or x = 7 - 13 / 4
= 20 / 4 = - 6 / 4
= 5 = - 3 / 2
therefore ; x = 5 or (-3/2)
p (5) = 0 p (-3/2) = 0
x = (-5) is a factor x = (2x + 3) is a factor
answer :
p(x) = 2x^2 - 7x - 15 = (x-5) (2x+3)
