Question

if a polynomial is divided by (x-a) and the remainder equals zero, then (x-a) is a factor of the polynomial

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

a p e x

Answer 2

True.

Explanation:

This is the basis for polynomial division/remainder theorem.

Given a polynomial p(x) and a divisor (x - a), if p(a) = 0, then the expression factors in perfectly.

Likewise, if the remainder in p(x)/(x-a) = 0, then the expression factors in perfectly.
