Question

Use the factor theorem to determine if the given binomial is a factor of f f(x)=x^(4)-9x^(3)+5x^(2)+5x-2 (a) x-1 (b) x+1

Answer 1

Answer: f(-2)=0; yes, the binomial is a factor of the polynomial.

f(-2)≠0; the binomial is not a factor of the polynomi f(2)=0; yes, the binomial is a factor of the polynomial.

f(2)≠0; the binomial is not a factor of the polynomial.
