Question

Which of these statements being true would show that x-10 is a factor of the polynomial p(x)

P(10)=0

p(0)=10

p(0)=-10

p(-10)=0


PLEASE HELP ASAP ALGEBRA 2

Answer 1

P(10)=0

Explanation:

As per factor theorem:

If x-10 is factor of polynomial p(x), then the remainder after division by x-10 should be zero. i.e. If we synthetic-divide a p(x) by x = 10 and get zero remainder as following

P(10)=0

it is reverse of remainder theorem!
