Hey user

Here is your answer :-

_______________________________

f ( x ) is a polynomial such that f ( -1/2 ) = 0

So x = - 1/2 satisfies the equation,

Hence x + 1/2 is a factor of f ( x )

since f(x) is the given polynomial , it's a function of 'x' .

It's given that the value of x = -1/2 , satisfies the function condition f(x) = 0

then , x + 1/2 = 0 , is a factor of f(x) .


so , (X + 1/2) is a factor of f(X)

superyash80: how it satisfies pls explain in detail
ajh04: they have alteady given that X=-1/2 satisfies f(X) = 0 . So taking -1/2 on l.h.s sise , we will get X+1/2=0 . This (X+1/2) is a factor of f(x)
