1 answer:

3 0

Answer: (x + 3)(x - 4)

Step-by-Step Solution:

We need to Factorize the given Quadratic Polynomial by using Splitting the Middle Term Method.

= x^2 - x - 12
= x^2 - 4x + 3x - 12
= x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4)
=> (x + 3)(x - 4)

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x + 5) is a factor, what else must be true?

PolarNik [594]

Rule: If x-k is a factor of p(x), then p(k) = 0. This is a special case of the remainder theorem.

Using that rule, we can see that x+5 is really x-(-5) so k = -5.

Therefore,

p(k) = 0
p(-5) = 0

so the answer is choice D.
