Q. uestion 33\newlineWrite the complete factored form of the polynomial f(x) f(x) , given the indicated zero.\newlinef(x)=x39x2+27x27 f(x)=x^{3}-9 x^{2}+27 x-27 \newline33 is a zero.\newlineFor the toolbar, press ALT+F10(PC) A L T+F 10(P C) or ALT+FN+F10 A L T+F N+F 10 (Mac).
  1. Identify Zero Factor: Since 33 is a zero, (x3)(x - 3) is a factor of f(x)f(x). Perform polynomial division to divide f(x)f(x) by (x3)(x - 3).
  2. Perform Polynomial Division: Divide f(x)f(x) by (x3)(x - 3) using synthetic division or long division.
  3. Synthetic Division Setup: Synthetic division setup: \newline33 | 11 9-9 2727 27-27\newline |___ 33 18-18 2727\newlineResult: 11 6-6 1100 1111
  4. Find Quotient: The quotient from the division is x26x+9x^2 - 6x + 9.
  5. Factor Quadratic: Factor the quadratic x26x+9x^2 - 6x + 9. It's a perfect square trinomial.
  6. Factor Perfect Square Trinomial: The factored form of x26x+9x^2 - 6x + 9 is (x3)(x3)(x - 3)(x - 3) or (x3)2(x - 3)^2.
  7. Combine Factors: Combine the factors to get the complete factored form of f(x)f(x): (x3)(x3)2(x - 3)(x - 3)^2.
  8. Simplify Factored Form: Simplify the factored form to get f(x)=(x3)3f(x) = (x - 3)^3.
