Question

Determine whether the second polynomial is a factor of the first.

6x2 + 5x +54; x-4
Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
O A. No, because the polynomial 6x² + 5x + 54 evaluated at 4 is equal to
OB. Yes, because the polynomial 6x + 5x +54 evaluated at - 4 is equal to
OC. No, because the polynomial 6x + 5x +54 evaluated at - 4 is equal to
OD. Yes, because the polynomial 6x + 5x + 54 evaluated at 4 is equal to

Answer 1

No, because the polynomial 6x² + 5x + 54 evaluated at 4 is equal to 170.

Explanation:

A polynomial should have a factor (let's say a) that would make the polynomial equal to zero when we substitute that factor (a) into the polynomial.
