Question

f(x) = x³ −6x² − 19x + 84, g(x) = x − 7

Open in App

Solution

It is given that and

By the factor theorem, g(x) is the factor of polynomial f(x), if f (7) = 0.

Therefore, in order to prove that (x − 7) is a factor of f(x).

It is sufficient to show that f(7) = 0

Now,

Hence, (x − 7) is a factor of polynomial f(x).
