Question

(x+2) is a factor of p(x)= x^3+x^2+x+2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this will help and sorry for bad handwriting

Answer 2

answer = -4

and this is not a factor of the given polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2=0

then, x=-2 (by transposing 2 to that side)

p(-2)= (-2)³+(-2)²+(-2)+2

p(-2)= (-8)+(4)-2+2

p(-2)= (-8)+4 ( -2 and +2 gets cancelled )

p(-2)= -4
