Given a polynomial f(x), if (x + 2) is a factor, what else must be true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

according to remainder theorem,if f(x) is a polynomial with (x+2) as a factor then f(-2) must be equal to zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(0) = 2 f(0) = -2 f(2) = 0 f(-2) = 0 so the answer is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no,f(-2)=0 is the ans

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Rishi123 is using the idea if (x-k) is a factor of P(x), then P(k) = 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in this case, k = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer id D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is

OpenStudy (anonymous):
