Question

Find whether or not the second polynomial is a factor of the first. (c) x^2 - 4, x + 2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

as we can factor x^2-4 into (x+2)(x-2)

so x+2 is a factor of this polynomial

Answer 2

Answer:

yes it is

Step-by-step explanation:

use remainder theorem

substitute value of x as -2

if ut is a factor, remainder will be 0

therefore -2^2-4=0

4-4=0

0=0
