Question

Determine which ofthe following polynomials has (x + l) a factor: x⁴+3x³+3x²+x+1

Answer 1

no it is not a factor of p (x)

Answer 2

Answer:

(x + 1) is not a factor of x⁴+3x³+3x²+x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find Whether (x + 1) is  a factor of

x⁴+3x³+3x²+x+1

x + 1 is a factor if  by putting x = - 1 we get 0

Lets put x = -1

= (-1)⁴ + 3(-1)³ + 3(-1)² + (-1) + 1

= 1 - 3 + 3 - 1 + 1

= 1

1 ≠ 0

so (x + 1) is not a factor of x⁴+3x³+3x²+x+1
