Question

Is (x − 2) a factor of f(x) = x3 − 2x2 + 2x + 3? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

❌

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x-a) is a factor of a polynomial then the polynomial must equal zero .

Here's what I mean :

x - 2 = 0  

x = 2

(2)³-2(2)²+2(2) + 3 = 0 ❌

8 - 8 +4 +3 = 0 ❌

7 = 0 ❌

Hope this helped and have a good day
