Problem

Consider the polynomial P(x)=3x3+18x2+15xP(x)=3x^{3}+18x^{2}+15x. Answer the following: (i) Factor out the highest common monomial factor from P(x)P(x). (ii) Hence, completely factorise the resulting quadratic expression. (iii) Using the factorised form obtained in part (ii), solve the equation P(x)=0P(x)=0 for real values of xx. State all the roots clearly.
