 Determine if x - 5 is a factor of -2x^3 + 14x^2 - 24x + 20

directrix · Answer

If (x-5) is a factor of -2x^3 + 14x^2 - 24x + 20, then 
-2*(5^3) +14*5^2 - 24*5 + 20 will equal 0.
Evaluate that and see if the left side equals 0.
Post what you get, okay?

anonymous · Answer

The other side also was equal to zero
so answer choice c, since both sides were equal to zero?

directrix · Answer

Yes, by the Remainder Theorem, 
c. yes, because the remainder is 0
