Question 1 of 8

No calculator

The polynomial is already given in factor form

-\left(x + 3\right)\left(x - 1\right)\left(x - 2\right)=0

Use the null factor law and state the real roots with their multiplicities

(a)1 mark

Use a rational root and division to solve the equation completely

\left(x + 3\right)\left(x - 1\right)\left(x - 2\right)=0

-\left(x - 3\right)\left(x - 1\right)\left(x - 2\right)=0

-\left(x + 3\right)\left(x + 3\right)\left(x - 1\right)=0

-\left(x + 3\right)\left(x - 1\right)\left(x - 2\right)=0

(b)6 marks

Enter the real roots in increasing order and the multiplicity of each root

Root 1 Multiplicity of root 1 Root 2 Multiplicity of root 2 Root 3 Multiplicity of root 3
