To find: the number of times r is a root of P ( x ) = 0
Answer to Problem 36WE
−1 is four times is the root of P ( x ) = 0
Explanation of Solution
Given information: the information provided in the question,
Calculation:
Divide P ( x ) by the factor obtained from r = −1, that is,
0
Divide the quotient with
Again, divide the above quotient with
Hence, −1 is four times is the root of P ( x ) = 0
