Question

Which of the following is a factor of the polynomial below?



A. x – 2
B. x + 2
C. x + 5
D. x + 8

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

8x^2+24x+16

Answer 3

good job

Answer 4

no thats the polynomial for the question

Answer 5

8x^2+24x+16

= 4(2x^2 + 6x + 4)
= 4(2x +2)(x + 2)

Answer 6

an easy method is to use the factor theorem

if

x -2 is a factor then x = 2 is a zero

so find

P(2) BY substituting x = 2 into the polynomial

if P(2) = 0.... then x - 2 is a factor

repeat the process for the other factors...

and it saves trying to factor or solve the quadratic...

Answer 7

so

\[P(2) = 8(2)^2 + 24(2) + 16\]
