Question

Can u guys help me out

Examine the polynomial p(x)=6x^3+17x^2−24x−35

Use the Factor Theorem to identify which binomial is a factor of p(x).


a.3x+5

b.2x+7

c.x−1

d.2x−7

Answer 1

Option B, 2x + 7

Explanation:

Step 1: Factor

p(x) = 6x^3 + 17x^2 − 24x − 35

p(x) = (x + 1)(3x - 5)(2x + 7)

Answer: Option B, 2x + 7
