Answer 2

If p(a) = 0 then (x-a) is a factor of p(x).

• In algebra, the factor theorem states that a polynomial p(x) has a factor (x - a) only if p(a) is a root that is p(a) is 0.

• This is simply what we learnt in junior classes, if we divide a number by a factor of that number, then we'll get zero as the remainder.

• A polynomial is a monomial or a sum or difference of monomials.

• The degree of the polynomial is the degree of the term with the greatest degree.

• Polynomial in two or more variables is an algebraic expression involving two or more variables with non-negative integral powers.
