Question

If P(2)=0 for polynomial P(x), then one factor of p(x) is what?
a} (x+2) b} (x-2)

c} (x²+2) d} (x²-2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

the correct answer is x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is given that x=2

so, x-2=0

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large \bold \red{ \rm{ \underline{Question}}}$

If P(2)=0 for polynomial P(x), then one factor of p(x) is what?

a} (x+2)

b} (x-2)

c} (x²+2)

d} (x²-2)

$\tt{ \rm{formula}}$

☞ Hit and trial method

$\tt{ \rm{solution}}$

a) p(x)= (X+2)

p(2)=(X+2)

2+2=4

b) p(x)= (X-2)

p(2)=(X-2)

2-2=0

c) p(x)= (x^+2)

p(2)=(2^2+2)

4+2=6

d) p(x)= (X^2-2)

p(2)=(X^2-2)

4-2=6

☞Correct answer is option B.
