Answer:
The answer is option D.
Explanation:
x³ + 6x² + 5x - 12
A factor of the polynomial is the value of x when substituted into the expression will make it zero
Choosing x + 4
x = - 4
We have
(- 4)³ + 6(- 4)² + 5(- 4) - 12
-64 + 96 - 20 - 12 = 0
Since the result is zero
x + 4 is a factor of the polynomial
