Question

When the polynomial 3x^3+22x^2+38x+15 is divided by (x + 2), the remainder is 3. What is known about the function?

Answer 1

It is known that x+2 is not a factor of the function.

Explanation:

Whenever a remainder is present after diving a problem, the divisor is not a factor of the overall polynomial. Since this applies in this case, x+2 is not a factor.
