Question

check whether x+2 is a factor of x square- 3x+2
try it using the factor theorem and plz do mention the steps.​

Answer 1

Answer:

do it now l am waiting for 2 hours

Answer 2

Answer:-

• x+2 is a factor

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow x+2=0$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow x=-2$

Now

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow p(x)=x^2-3x+2$

So

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow p(x)=0$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow x^2-3x+2=0$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow (-2)^2-3(-2)+2=0$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow 4+6+2=0$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow 12\neq 0$.

Hence x+2 is not a factor.
