a. Use synthetic division to show that 3 is a solution of the polynomial equation below. 13x3 16x2-16x-150-0 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, in millimeters, modeled by the equation below. f(x) 13x3-16x2-16x-7 What is the abdominal width when there are 152 eggs? a. The number 3 is a solution to the equation because the remainder of the division, 13x3-16x2-16x-159 divided by x-3, is 0. b. The abdominal width is millimeters. a.
