Today I had an exam and I wrote down the questions and the answers I provided so that you could please correct them.

1- using syntetic division determine whether x+2 is a factor of x^3-12x-16 , after applying syntethic division I concluded that yes x+2 it is a factor

2- Form a polynomial f(x) with real coheficients having the given degree and zeros.
zeros: -1,3i. degree 3
In this question I got as answer, x^3+x^2-9x-9.

3 use the intermediate value theorem to show that the given polynomial function has a zero in the given interval

4 Given c=1 is a zero of the polynomial F(x) = x^3+x^2-5x+3, factor f(x)

ok in this one i was totally lost, i just used syntetic division to prove that 1 effectively is a zero

5 Find the real zeros of 2x^3+3x^2+2x+3=0
and my answer were, -1 and -3/2



f(x) = X^4+8x^3-x^2+2 {-1,0} and I got F(-1) = -4
f(0)=2


4-find the zeros of (x^2-1)(1-x/2)
my answer was zeros 1,2
x intercept 0,2

please correct my answers
thank you so much.
 
There's a bit of a moral conflict, here. Has the exam already been graded?
 
hello

hello tkhunny
nop. the exam hasn't been graded, but I'm not asking for the answers, just if you could tell me how many questions are right.
thank you.
 
How can I tell if you used Synthetic Division?
