Question

x+1,2x² + 5x +4 find wheather or not the first polynomial is a factor of the second​

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

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

so

in the above scenario

p(-1)=2(-1)^2+5(-1)+4=2-5+4=1

so it's not a factor

Answer 2

Answer:

x+1 = 0

x = -1

2x²+5x+4 = 0

2(-1)²+5(-1)+4 = 0

2-5+4 = 0

1 = 0

LHS is not equal to RHS

hence,the first polynomial is not a factor of the second
