Question

(x-a) is a factor of p(x) , if p(a) = 0
Is this statement true or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

It's true as x-a =0, which means x=a .

If p(x)=0, then p(a) will also be 0

Answer 2

Here x-a is a factor of p(x)

if we transfer a to RHS it becomes ,+a as ,x=a here given p(a)as 0 so if p(x)is also 0 then it is true that x-a is factor if p(x).
