Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether g(x) is a factor of p(x) in each of the following cases: (i) p(x) = 2x3+x2–2x–1, g(x) = x+1 -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Solution: p(x) = 2x3+x2–2x–1, g(x) = x+1 g(x) = 0 ⇒ x+1 = 0 ⇒ x = −1 ∴Zero of g(x) is -1. Now, p(−1) = 2(−1)3+(−1)2–2(−1)–1 = −2+1+2−1 = 0 ∴By factor theorem, g(x) is a factor of p(x
