Question

$x^2$ is a _____ of $x^2+3x+2$.

• A. term
• B. factor
• C. multiple
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

term

When $x^2+3x+2$ is divided by $x^2$ the remainder is $3x+2$. So $x^2$​​​​​​​ is not a factor of $x^2+3x+2$.

$x^2$ is a term of the polynomial $x^2+3x+2$ and not a factor.
