The polynomial p(w) = 3w^3 - 20w^2 + 37w - 20 has a known factor of (w-4). Rewrite p(w) as a product of linear factors.

(w - 4)(w - 1)(3w - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Synthetic division to find the quotient on dividing p(w) by (w - 4)

4 | 3   - 20   37   - 20

            12   - 32    20

    3     - 8     5        0 ← remainder = 0

quotient = 3w² - 8w + 5 = (3w - 5)(w - 1)

p(w) = (w - 4)(w - 1)(3w - 5)

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.
