Question

Given the binomials (x - 1), (x - 3), (x + 3), and (x + 5), which one is a factor of f(x) = x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 35?

(x - 3)

(x - 1)

(x + 2)

(x + 3)

Answer 1

i am not sure how you are supposed to do this besides checking each factor by division, but \[x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 35 =(x+5) (x^2+x+7)\]

Answer 2

i am assuming there is a typo in your answers because \(x+5\) is not a choice, but it is the right one

Answer 3

yes there was. THank you!
