Question 74

f(x)=2x3−3x2−4x+4f(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 4f(x)=2x3−3x2−4x+4

a.

Use the factor theorem to show that (x−2)(x - 2)(x−2) is a factor of f(x)f(x)f(x)

[2]
b.

Hence, or otherwise, solve the equation 2x3−3x2−4x+4=02x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 4 = 02x3−3x2−4x+4=0 giving your answers to 2 decimal places where appropriate
