Question

2. Three partygoers are in the corner of the ballroom having an intense argument. You walk over to settle the debate. They are discussing a function g(x). You take out your notepad and jot down their statements.

Answer 1

• 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.
