Question 6

Multiple Choice

Use Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Rational Zeros Theorem to find all the real zeros of the polynomial function. Use the
zeros to factor f over the real numbers.
- f(x) =x3+2x29x18f ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } + 2 x ^ { 2 } - 9 x - 18


A) 3,2,3;f(x) =(x+3) (x+2) (x3) - 3 , - 2,3 ; f ( x ) = ( x + 3 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 )
B) 3,2,3;f(x) =(x+3) (x2) (x3) - 3,2,3 ; f ( x ) = ( x + 3 ) ( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 )
C) 2;f(x) =(x+2) (x2+x9) - 2 ; f ( x ) = ( x + 2 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + x - 9 \right)
D) 3;f(x) =(x+3) (x2x6) - 3 ; f ( x ) = ( x + 3 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } - x - 6 \right)
