If (x-2k) is a factor of f(x), which of the following must be true?
f(2k)=0
f(-2k)=0
A root of f(x) is x=-2k.
or
A y intercept of f(x) is x=2k?
Answers
y=f(x)=(x-2k)
if x=2k , then
f(x)=y=0
option d is correct
Answer: If (x-2k) is a factor of f(x), then f(2k)=0.
If (x-2k) is a factor of f(x), it means that f(x) can be written as the product of (x-2k) and another polynomial, say g(x).
So,
f(x) = (x-2k)g(x)
This means that when x = 2k, the value of f(x) is zero, i.e.,
f(2k) = (2k-2k)g(2k) = 0 * g(2k) = 0
So, in this case, f(2k) must be equal to zero.
The other statements about f(-2k) or a root or y-intercept are not necessarily true just because (x-2k) is a factor of f(x).
