Can someone me?

find the roots using synthetic division.

i know that there are 4 roots. but i need finding the factors of the last term and the first term and finding possible rational roots.

now, let's recall the rational root test, check your textbook on it.

so p  = 18 and q = 1

so all possible roots will come from the factors of ±p/q

now, to make it a bit short, the factors are loosely, ±3, ±2, ±9, ±1, ±6.

recall that, a root will give us a remainder of 0.

let us use +3.

well, that one worked... now, using the rational root test, our p = 6, q = 1.

so the factors from ±p/q are ±3, ±2, ±1

let's use 3 again

and of course, we can factor x²-x-2 to (x-2)(x+1).

(x-3)(x-3)(x-2)(x+1).

8 2/3 is the answer

step-by-step explanation: just use a calculator
