Answer

The roots of the polynomial equation are $x=-\frac{1}{2}\ ,x=\frac{2}{3}\ ,$ and $x=\frac{7}{2}$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the polynomial equation $\left( 2x+1 \right){{\left( 3x-2 \right)}^{3}}\left( 2x-7 \right)=0$ Simplify: $\begin{align} & \left( 2x+1 \right){{\left( 3x-2 \right)}^{3}}\left( 2x-7 \right)=0 \\ & x=\frac{-1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\frac{7}{2} \\ \end{align}$ Hence, the roots of the polynomial equation $\left( 2x+1 \right){{\left( 3x-2 \right)}^{3}}\left( 2x-7 \right)=0$ are $x=-\frac{1}{2}\ ,x=\frac{2}{3}\ ,$ and $x=\frac{7}{2}$ .
