Question

Use factor theorem to find whether polynomial g(x) = x -2 is a factor of polynomial f(x) = x4 - 2x2 +6x +3 or not.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x -2=0

x =2

put value x =2 in given eq

x4 -2x² +6x +3 =0

(2)4 - 2 (2)² +6×2 +3 =0

16 - 8 +12 +3 =0

8 +15 =0

23 ≠ 0

Therefore x-2 is not a factor of given polynomial.
