Question

A polynomial is a factor of another polynomial if when divided they have a remainder of zero. True or False.

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

The Factor theorem states that for any polynomial f(x) if f(c)=0 then x-c is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

If any polynomial f(x) is divided by x-a and remainder is 0 that means f(a)= 0 .In other words we can say x-a is a factor of the polynomial f(x).So the statement :If a polynomial is divided by (x-a) and the remainder equals zero then (x -a) is a factor of the polynomial is True.
