Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when f(x) is divided by x-2. Then use the factor theorem to determine whether x-2 is a factor of f(x).

f(x)=2x^4-7x^3+15x-6
The remainder is_____.
Is x-2 a factor of f(x)=2x^4-7x^3+15x-6
Yes or No

anonymous · Answer

they are asking you to find $f(2)$

anonymous · Answer

$x-2$ is a factor if and only if $f(2)=0$ 
the remainder is $f(2)$

anonymous · Answer

@satellite73 the remainder is 2?? and is part 2 a yes or no?
