Question:

a. Use synthetic division to show that 3 is a solution of the polynomial equation 14x3 - 17x2 - 16x - 177 = 0.

b. Use the solution from part (a) to solve this problem. The number of eggs, f(x), in a female moth is a function of her abdominal width, x, in millimeters, modeled by f(x) = 14x3 - 17x2 - 16x + 34.

What is the abdominal width when there are 211 eggs?
