Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!! I CANNOT RETAKE THIS!!

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial function?

Select Yes or No for each binomial.

Answer 1

no yes yes yes no ; sol. when x=4 , f(x) = 0 ,so (x-4) is right answer.....

Answer 2

Answer: YES → (x + 2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

NO → (x - 2) (x + 6)

Explanation:

The best way to answer this question is to factor the given polynomial and then look at the choices at the botom of your screeen.

f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 16x - 32

0 = x³ + 2x² - 16x - 32

= x²(x + 2) -16(x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x² - 16)

= ↓ (x - 4)(x + 4)

= (x + 2)( x - 4)(x + 4)
