Question

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x + 2) is a factor, what else must be true?

A. f(0) = 2
B. f(0) = -2
C. f(2) = 0
D. f(-2) = 0

Answer 1

If (x + 2) is a factor of a polynomial f(x), then it follows that f(-2) = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x + 2) is a factor of a polynomial f(x), then it follows that f(-2) = 0. Therefore, the correct answer is D. f(-2) = 0.
