(E) Long Answer Questions: Sample Question 1

The document contains 10 polynomial expressions in various variables like t, x, s, v, y. It also contains two sample long answer questions about polynomials: 1) Find a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes sum to 2 and product is -3. The zeroes are -1/2 and 3/2. 2) If the remainder of dividing a cubic polynomial by x-3 is 21, find the quotient and value of k. The quotient is x2 + 5x + 6, k is -15, and the zeroes of the resulting cubic are 3, -3, 3.
