question 101

Multiple Choice

Write a linear factorization of the function.
- $$f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } + 6 x ^ { 3 } + 17 x ^ { 2 } + 54 x + 72$$

• A) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 9 \right)\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x + 3 i ) ( x - 3 i )\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x + 2 i ) ( x - 2 i )\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = ( x + 3 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x + 4 i ) ( x - 4 i )\)
