Question

Use the factor theorem to determine if the given are factors of f(x). Use the binomials that are factors to write a factored form of f(x).
f(x)=x^4-2x^3-9x^2+x+6 (x+2) (x+1)

Answer 1

Answer:

(x+2) is a factor of f(x)

(x+1) is not a factor of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Used concept:-

Factor theorem:-

Let p(x) be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1 and (x-a) is another linear polynomial if (x-a) is a factor of p(x) then p(a)=0 vice-versa.
