I’m doing a pre-test and do not know this answer. please help!

Answer 1

`f(2)\\e0`

The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

Step-by-step explanation

Given;

Substitute the value of x;

`\begin{gathered} f\left(x\right)=2x^3+x^2-5x+2 \\ x-2=0 \\ x=2 \end{gathered}`

Now, find f(2);

`\begin{gathered} f(2)=2*2^3+2^2-5*\:2+2 \\ =16+4-10+2 \\ =12 \end{gathered}`

Hence, since;

`f(2)\\e0`

The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial.
