2) Determine the solutions of the following polynomials by factoring. Use the tools you have learned this unit
to help you. (remainder theorem, integral zero theorem, division etc.)
a) # " − 4# ! − 3# + 18 = 0 b) # " − 3# ! − 4# + 12 = 0
Sum and difference of cubes
!! − #! = (! − #)(!" + !# + #" )
e) 2# " − 7# ! + 10# − 5 = 0
3) Solve each equation by first factoring the sum or difference of cubes.
