use the remainder theorem to show that (x+1) is a factor of f(x)=2x^3-7x^2-5x+4

Use The Remainder Theorem To Show That X1 Is A Factor Of Fx2x37x25x4 class=

Sagot :

well, the remainder theorem says that if the polynomial f(x) has a factor of (x-a), then if we just plug in the "a" in f(x) it'll gives a remainder, assuming (x-a) is indeed a factor, then that remainder must be 0, so if f(a) = 0 then indeed (x-a) is a factor of f(x).  After all that mumble jumble, let's proceed, we have (x+1), that means [ x - (-1) ], so if we plug in -1 in f(x), we should get 0, or f(-1) = 0, let's see if that's true.
