Question

Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial.

x - 5; 3x^2 + 5x + 50

Answer 1

your idea?

Answer 2

I know I have to replace something with x-5, but I don't know what.

Answer 3

x -5 =0 , x =?

Answer 4

My question definitely relate to the question, just answer me. I know my method confused you , but it is the step to find the answer, what could I do?

Answer 5

x=5?

Answer 6

yes, plug 5 into the problem where you see x , so, you have 3*5^2 +5*5 +50 =?

Answer 7

300

Answer 8

\(\neq\)0, right?
so, x-5 is not a factor of the equation.
That's it

Answer 9

...that's it?

Answer 10

when you plug in, the result =0, you can conclude that the first one is the factor of the second one.
If it is \(\neq\) 0 , the first one is not a factor of the second one.
And yes, DAT SIT

Answer 11

Well that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be!

Answer 12

hahahah... and you doubted me, right? lalalala, yea yea ya DAT SIT

Answer 13
