Answer:
step by step explanation:
All you have to do is expand and reduce the expressions
then evaluate -2 being a root of the expressions
To do that you need to substitute -2 into the simplified expressions
if the result comes as zero then f(-2) is factor of f(x) according to the factor theorem.
Example 1.
simplify (-5x-2)(7x-4)-2x+3
if you substitute f(x) as f(-2)
then substitute x with -2
when you simply and evaluate the expression you will get that the expression is equal to -137
which means -2 isn't a root since the expression must be equal to 0
-2 is not a root
do the same for the other expressions
