. You walk over to settle the debate. They are discussing a function g(x). You take out your notepad and jot down their statements.

Professor McCoy: She says that 2 is a zero of g(x) because long division with (x + 2) results in a remainder of 0.
Ms. Guerra: She says that 2 is a zero of g(x) because g(2) = 0.
Mr. Romano: He says that 2 is a zero of g(x) because synthetic division with 2 results in a remainder of 0.
Correct the reasoning of any inaccurate reasoning by the party-goers in full and complete sentences. M

they really stretch to make these "word problems" don't they?

anonymous · Answer

they really do haha

anonymous · Answer

the statement "2 is a zero of g(x) because g(2) = 0"  is correct 
that is what it means for 2 to be a zero

anonymous · Answer

the statement " 2 is a zero of g(x) because long division with (x + 2) results in a remainder of 0" is incorrect

anonymous · Answer

it would be long division by $x-2$ not $x+2$

anonymous · Answer

the statement "He says that 2 is a zero of g(x) because synthetic division with 2 results in a remainder of 0" is probably meant to be correct, but it is written badly

anonymous · Answer

"synthetic division WITH 2" makes no real sense
synthetic division is division
if you put at 2 in the box on the side, you are dividing by $x-2$ so i guess you are supposed to say it is right
illiterate, but right
