Question

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

Answer 1

is this the question??are u sure??

Answer 2

Not really. But i dont clearly understand itttt.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Yesssss. That P(x) thingy

Answer 5

ok so u know this remainder theorem???

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

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....

Answer 8

waaaaaaa i dont really know how to do the graph thingy

Answer 9

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......
