Question

check whether (p+1) is a factor of (p^100-1) and (p^101+1) Please give the correct answers!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If (p+1) is a solution,,

Value of p=-1

(-1)^100-1

====> 1 - 1

====> 0

So,

P-1 is a factor of this equation

Equation (2)

(-1)^101+1

====> -1 + 1

====> 0

Thus p-1 is a solution to both of the equations

====> Replacing value of p in equation...
