ok so if you had a ppolynomial that had a leading term of a and a constant of c, then possilbe rational roots=+/-[tex] \frac{factors_of_c}{factors_of_a} [/tex] therefor +/-1/1 +/-3/1 +/-9/1 the bottom sign never changes therefor it was [tex]+/- \frac{1*3*9}{1} [/tex] therefor the leading term was 1 and the contatnt was 27
to find how many sole during 8th hour, just subsitue 8 for x g(8)=8^3-8(8^2)+10(8)+27=80+27=107 tickets you don't need synthetic division constant is the one that doesn't change so that isi 27
