53/2 is 25.5 as a fraction; 40/2 is 20 as a fraction
Answer:
d) p(4) = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
p(4) = 0:-
p(4) = 4^2 + 8(4) - 48
= 16 + 32 - 48
= 0.
This is an application of the Factor Theorem ( a special case of The Remainder Theorem)
The Factor theorem states that if (x - a) is a factor of P(x) then P(a) = 0.

Lets apply that here.
72-[(3x2^3)+48]
So first we start with (3x2^3)
2^3=8
3*8=24
now we do 24+48 which equals 72
now we have 72-72 which equals zero.
So
72-[(3x2^3)+48] = 0
