"Identifying if (X-c) is a factor of (P=x)" pls heeeeelpp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this the question??are u sure??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really. But i dont clearly understand itttt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where is the expression??like P(x)???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yesssss. That P(x) thingy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so u know this remainder theorem???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool so it states that if p(x) = (x – a)q(x) + r(x) If x – a is indeed a factor of p(x), then the remainder after division by (x – a) will be zero....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waaaaaaa i dont really know how to do the graph thingy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well x = c is a root of the equation P(x)=0 ------->x-c is a factor of P(x). so to graph a polynomial function, 1. Find all zeros, as these are the x-intercepts of the graph(this u can do by long,synthetic division). 2. Test values on either side of the zeros to know where the graph is going. Then see the behavior and sketch the graph......
