Question 121
(***+)
f ( x ) ≡ x3 − 2 x 2 − x − 6 , x ∈ » .
a) Use the factor theorem to show that ( x − 3) is a factor of f ( x ) .
b) Hence express f ( x ) as the product of a linear and a quadratic factor.
The curve C has equation
y = 3x 4 − 8 x3 − 6 x 2 − 72 x + 240 .
c) Show that C has a single stationary point, and determine its coordinates and its
nature.
