Question

Is x – 8 a factor of the function f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64? Explain.
Answer
A)Yes. When the function f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64 is divided by x – 8, the remainder is zero. Therefore, x – 8 is a factor of f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64.
B)Yes. When the function f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64 is divided by x – 8, the remainder is not zero. Therefore, x – 8 is a factor of f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64.
C)No. When the function f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64 is divided by x – 8, the remainder is zero. Therefore, x – 8 is not a factor of f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64.
D)No. When the function f(x) = –2x3 + 17x2 – 64 is divided by x – 8,
