Question

If P(2) = 0 for polynomial P(x), then one factor of p(x) is ......
(A) (x + 2) (B) (x - 2) (C) (x² + 2) (D) (x2 - 2)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) P(x)=(x+2)

= p(2)=2+2=4

(B)P(x)= (x-2)

p(2)=2-2=0

(C) p(x)=(x²+2)

p(2)=2²+2

=4+2=6

(D) p(x)=(x²-2)

p(2)=2²-2

=4-2=2

Answer 2

Answer:

B.(x-2)

P(2) = (2-2) = 0
