Answer:
The true statements are A , B , E
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- In the synthetic calculation we use the coefficient of the dividend
with the factors of the function
∴ 2 , -2 , -12 are the coefficient of the dividend 2x² - 2x - 12
∵ The divisor is 3
∴ x = 3 is a root of F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12
∵ x = 3 is the root of F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12
- Subtract the two sides by 3
∴ x - 3 = 0
∴ (x - 3) is a factor of the dividend F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12
- The quotient is the last line of the synthetic division
∴ The coefficients of quotient are 2 , 4
- The quotient is 1 degree less than the dividend
∵ The degree of the dividend is 2
∴ The degree of the quotient is 1
∴ The quotient is 2x + 4
* Lets check the answers to chose the write statements
A. The number 3 is a root of F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12 ⇒ true
B. (x - 3) is a factor of 2x² - 2x - 12 ⇒ true
E. (2x² - 2x - 12) ÷ (x - 3) = 2x + 4 ⇒ true
* The true statements are A , B , E
