Certainly! If \((x-3)\) is a factor of the polynomial function
\(g(x) = 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 28x - 15\), it means that
\(g(3) = 0\). We can use synthetic division to verify this.

Starting with the coefficients of
\(g(x)\), 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
\(g(3) = 5\), and since it's not equal to zero, there was an error. Apologies for any confusion.

Let's correct it:

We want
\((x - 3)\) to be a factor, so we need to find the correct factorization:


\((x - 3)(2x^2 + 11x + 5)\)

So, the corrected equation for
\(g\) as the product of linear factors is:


\[g(x) = (x - 3)(2x^2 + 11x + 5)\]

The probable question may be:

Find the roots of the polynomial function 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 28x - 15.
