(x-5) is the factor of p(x)=x2+x−30
True
False
x-5 is the factor if p(5) is zero . 5 is the constant in (x-a) form x-5 . a=5
Put x=5 into the p(x). we get..
p(5)=52+5−30=0
So, x-5 is the factor
If a polynomial p(x) has a factor (x-a), then p(a)=0.
x–2 is a factor of x3–2x–4.
4x2 is a factor of (4x)(x+3).
State whether true or false:
4x2is a factor of 4x(x+3).
f(x) = x2|x| is an even function
