Question

Is x - 8 a factor of the function f(x) = -2x3 + 17x2 - 64? Explain. (2 points)
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) 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.
C) 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.
D) No. When the function f(x) = -2x3 + 17x2 - 64 is di
