Answer 1

@John_ES

Answer 2

Yes or no?

Answer 3

If x - 3 is a factor of the given polynomial then

x - 3 = 0

Solving for x we get
x = 3

Input 3 into the polynomial in place of x. If you get zero, then yes, x - 3 is a factor.

Answer 4

In other words

IF 2(3)^2 - 4(3) + 3 equals zero

then x - 3 is a factor.

Answer 5

Thank you so much

Answer 6

Answer 7

no

Answer 8
