Q. The polynomial p(x)=3x35x24x+4 p(x)=3 x^{3}-5 x^{2}-4 x+4 has a known factor of (x2) (x-2) .\newlineRewrite p(x) p(x) as a product of linear factors.\newlinep(x)= p(x)= \newline \square
  1. Perform Polynomial Division: Since (x2)(x - 2) is a known factor, let's perform polynomial division to find the other factors.\newlineDivide p(x)p(x) by (x2)(x - 2) using synthetic division or long division.
  2. Set Up Synthetic Division: Set up synthetic division with 22 as the root:\newline\begin{array}{r|rrrr} 2 & 3 & -5 & -4 & 4 \ & \underline{\quad} & \underline{\quad} & \underline{\quad} & \underline{\quad} \ & 3 & -1 & -6 & 4 \end{array}\newlineMultiply 22 by 33 and write the result under 5-5. Add 5-5 and 66 to get 1-1.\newlineMultiply 22 by 1-1 and write the result under 4-4. Add 4-4 and 2211 to get 2222.\newlineMultiply 22 by 2222 and write the result under 2255. Add 2255 and 2277 to get 4-4.\newlineSince the remainder is not zero, there's a mistake. Let's correct it.
