Question

Use the remainder theorem to find which of the following is not a factor of x3 – 4x2 – 4x + 16. 1) x – 42) x – 123) x – 24) x + 2

Answer 1

As given by the question

There are given that the equation

`x^3-4x^2-4x+16`

Now,

According to the concept of the remainder theorem, the remainder theorem is the approach of education division of polynomial.

If we divide a polynomial P(x) by a factor (x-a).

Then,

From the given option, not a factor is (x-12).

Hence, the correct option is B.
