Question

2. Verify (x - 2) is a factor of 2 - 5x + 6 or not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

no (x-2) is not a factor of 2-5x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

zero of x-2 = 2

p(x)= 2-5*2+6

=2-10+6

=-12+6

=-6

Answer 2

Answer:

CONCEPT:

FACTOR THEOREM: IF A POLYNOMIAL G(X) IS A FACTOR OF POLYNOMIAL P(X) THEN P(A)=0.

VERIFICATION OF GIVEN QUESTION :

G(X)=X-2=0

=X=2

NOW ,

P(X)=2-5X+6

P(2)=2-10+6=2-4=-2.

HENCE IT IS NOT VERIFIED AS P(A) NOT EQUAL TO ZERO.
