Q1 f (z ) = z 3 + 9 z 2 + 28 z + 20 and f ( 1) = 0 , .: z + 1 is a
factor of f (z ) .

f (z ) = (z + 1) z 2 + pz + 20 .
Expand and compare coefficients, p + 1 = 9 , .: p = 8 .

.: f (z ) = (z + 1) z 2 + 8 z + 20 = (z + 1) (z + 4) + 2 2

Note: The body starts from rest, .: the acceleration is in the
negative direction and the body moves in the negative direction,
i.e. its velocity is negative for t > 0 .
