Question

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x + 5) is a factor, what else must be true?

f(0) = 5
Ob
f(0) = -5
Ос
f(5) = 0
Od
f(-5) = 0

Answer 1

As

`p(-5) = 0`

Thus, the correct option is 'd'.

Explanation:

We know that the special theorem of remainder states that:

if

`x-k` is a factor of
`p(x)`

then

`p(k) = 0`

so

`x+5 = x-(-5)`

`k = -5`

Thus,

`p(k) = 0`

`p(-5) = 0`

Thus, the correct option is 'd'.
