Question

Given the binomials (x - 3), (x - 1), (x + 2), and (x + 3), which one is a factor of f(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 - 2x - 3?

Answer 1

(x - 3)

(x - 1)

(x + 2)

(x + 3)

Answer 2

Look at the last term of the given 3rd degree polynomial.
What is it?

Answer 3

Answer 4

(x-1)

Answer 5

The answer is -3.
That means, choice C can be eliminated.

Answer 6

Now look at the remaining choices:
A. x - 3
B. x - 1
D. x + 3
If each one of these were a factor, that means the solutions they give are:
A. x = 3
B. x = 1
D. x = -3

All you need to do is evaluate the polynomial at each of those values of x. Whichever one gives you a polynomial value of zero is the answer.

Answer 7

D?

Answer 8

Since all you want is an answer, and someone already gave it, I suggest you read the answers again.
