Answer:

q1 = 3x^2 + 6x + 16

Explanation:

2 || 3 0 4 - 32

6 12 32

========================

3 6 16 0

q(x) + r(x)/(x - 2)

r(x) = 0

q(x) = 3x^2 + 6x + 16

This does not factor down any further unless you have take complex number. The only real root isw

x = 2

Just in case you have done complex numbers

x2 = -1 + 2.0817i

x3 = -1 - 2.0817i
