Q. If f(x)=2x3+14x232x+36 f(x)=2 x^{3}+14 x^{2}-32 x+36 and x+9 x+9 is a factor of f(x) f(x) , then find all of the zeros of f(x) f(x) algebraically.
  1. Set Equation Equal: Since x+9x+9 is a factor of f(x)f(x), we can set it equal to zero to find one of the zeros.\newlinex+9=0x + 9 = 0\newlinex=9x = -9
  2. Perform Polynomial Division: Now we'll perform polynomial division to divide f(x)f(x) by x+9x+9 and find the other factors.\newlineWe divide 2x3+14x232x+362x^3 + 14x^2 - 32x + 36 by x+9x + 9.
  3. Find Quadratic Zeros: After performing the division, we get a quotient of 2x24x+42x^2 - 4x + 4. Now we need to find the zeros of this quadratic equation.
