ANSWER
Apply remainder theorem
x+1=0
x=−1
Put the value of x=−1 in all equations.
(i) x
3
+x
2
+x+1=(−1)
3
+(−1)
2
+(−1)+1=−1+1−1+1=0
Then x+1 is the factor of equation
(ii) x
4
+x
3
+x
2
+x+1=(−1)
4
+(−1)
3
+(−1)
2
+(−1)+1=1−1+1−1+1=1
This is not zero.Then x+1 is not the factor of equation
(iii) x
4
+3x
3
+3x
2
+x+1=(−1)
4
+3(−1)
3
+3(−1)
2
+(−1)+1=1
This is not zero.Then x+1 is not the factor of equation
(iv)x

=0
This is zero. Then x+1 is the factor of equation
