Question

$(x-a)$ is a factor of the polynomial $p\left(x\right)$ then $p\left(a\right)=$

• A. $2$
• B. $-a$
• C. $0$
• D. $(x+a)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$0$

Explanation for correct answer:

Using factor theorem

(Factor theorem: If $(x-a)$ is a factor of the polynomial $p\left(x\right)$ then $p\left(a\right)=0$.)

So, according to the factor theorem $p\left(a\right)=0$.

Hence, the correct option (C).
