The question is not complete, so i have attached it.
Answer:
Options A, B & E are correct
Explanation:
In the synthetic division attached, we see that:
: 2 , -2 & -12 are the coefficient of the dividend of the function 2x² - 2x - 12
: The divisor is 3
Thus;
x = 3 is a root of f(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12
Thus, (x - 3) is a factor of the dividend which is the function f(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12
- Now, from the attached image, the coefficients of the quotient are 2 , 4
- The quotient will be 1 degree less than the dividend since it was divided by the factor (x - 3)
The degree of the dividend will be 2 since it contains x²
Thus, the degree of the quotient will be 1
Therefore, the quotient in factor form is (2x + 4)
Looking at the given statements in the options;
- Option A is true, because we have established earlier that 3 is a root of f(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12
- Option B is true because we have established that (x - 3) is a factor of 2x² - 2x - 12
- Option C is not true because the factor is (x + 3) and not (x - 3)
-Option D is not true because the root is 3 and not -3
- Option E is true because we have established that quotient as a factor is: (2x + 4)
Thus, the correct options are A , B , E
