Certainly! If \((x-3)\) is a factor of the polynomial function
, it means that
. We can use synthetic division to verify this.
Starting with the coefficients of
, which are 2, 5, -28, and -15, we perform synthetic division:
```
3 | 2 5 -28 -15
| 0 6 33 15
---------------------
2 11 5
```
The remainder is 5, which means
, and since it's not equal to zero, there was an error. Apologies for any confusion.
Let's correct it:
We want
to be a factor, so we need to find the correct factorization:

So, the corrected equation for
as the product of linear factors is:
![\[g(x) = (x - 3)(2x^2 + 11x + 5)\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ccn98e8vrg1vzpsmv6u3roz21xvrqdq8ty.png)
The probable question may be:
Find the roots of the polynomial function 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 28x - 15.
