@just_one_last_goodbye

OpenStudy (brianissa):

thanks for your help with trying to get this answered

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

OpenStudy (brianissa):

yeah haha

Hints: 1. Factor theorem: "In algebra, the factor theorem is a theorem linking factors and zeros of a polynomial. It is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem. The factor theorem states that a polynomial f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} has a factor if and only if f ( k ) = 0 {\displaystyle f(k)=0} (i.e. is a root)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_theorem It essentially says that a function f(x) when divided by a factor (x-k) has a remainder equal to f(k). For the same reason, if f(x) has a factor (x-k), then f(k)=0 (zero remainder). 2. Synthetic division. Note where the remainder of the division is: |dw:1465500617157:dw| Understanding of the two above items will help you answer the question.
