Question

For a polynomial p(x), the value of p(3) is −2. Which of the following must be true about p(x)?

A) x−5 is a factor of p(x).
B) x−2 is a factor of p(x).
C) x+2 is a factor of p(x).
D) The remainder when p(x) is divided by x−3 is −2.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is D

because when u substitute x=3 in the polynomial

u get the remainder as -2

Answer 2

Answer:

Of the answer choices, the only one that must be true about p(x) is D, that the remainder when p(x) is divided by x−3 is -2. The final answer is D
