Question

FREE MEDAL !!!!! She says that 2 is a zero of g(x) because long division with (x + 2) results in a remainder of 0. is that correct ?

Answer 1

What's g(x)? We would need to know that equation

Answer 2

Three party-goers 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 3

Professor McCoy: She says that 2 is a zero of g(x) because long division with (x + 2) results in a remainder of 0.

Answer 4

there is no equation

Answer 5

She's wrong because assuming this is a polynomial the zero is -2

Answer 6

If a is a zero of f(x) then (x - a) will be a factor.

Answer 7

- and long division would give a zero reminder.

Answer 8

* remainder

Answer 9

s=i will be back in a sec I am working it out

Answer 10

In order to know the answer quickly, you can use examples to help you understand. The simplest polynomial with 2 being a zero is definitely x−2.

Answer 11

Prof McCoy: x−2x+2 definitely doesn't have a remainder of 0

Answer 12

she is wrong because in order that 2 be a zero of g(x), it is (x-2) which must be a factor of g(x), not (x+2). (FACTOR THEOREM)
Ms. G is correct because if 2 is a zero of g(x), g(2) will be 0. (REMAINDER THEOREM)
Mr. R is also correct because if (x-2) is a factor of g(x), g(x) will have 2 as a zero. (FACTOR THEOREM)
