Question

1. Determine which of the following polynomials has (x + 1) a factor :
(1) x^3 - x^2 -(2 +✓2)x +✓2​

Answer 1

let f(x) be x³-x²-(2+√2)x+√2

now , x+1=0 => x =-1

•°• f(-1) = -1-1+2+√2+√2 = 2√2

°•° f(x) ≠ 0 hence , f(x) does not hv a factor in x+1

Answer 2

Answer:

are u now ok... the x+1 is not a factor of given p(x)
