Answer:

B is true

Step-by-step explanation:

given f(x) = 2x² - x - 1 and g(x) = x - 1

A

If x = - 1 is a root then f(- 1) = 0

f(- 1) = 2(- 1)² - (- 1) - 1 = 2 + 1 - 1 = 2 ≠ 0 ← False

B

If (x - 1) is a factor then x = 1 is a root and f(1) = 0

f(1) = 2(1)² - 1 - 1 = 2 - 1 - 1 = 0

⇒ g(x) = x - 1 is a factor of f(x) ← True

C

If x = 2 is a root then f(2) = 0

f(2) = 2(2)² - 2 - 1 = 8 - 3 = 5 ≠ 0 ← False

D

\frac{x2x^2-x-1}{x-1} = \frac{(2x+1)(x-1)}{x-1}

Cancel the factor (x - 1) on the numerator/ denominator, leaving

\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = 2x + 1 with remainder 0 ≠ 2 ← False

cupoosta [38]

Answer:
We will choose the last option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
A land surveyor places two stakes 500 ft apart and locates the midpoint between the stakes.
From the midpoint, he needs to place another stake 100 ft away that is equidistant to the two original stakes.  
Therefore, to apply the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, the land surveyor would have to identify a line that is "perpendicular to the line connecting the two stakes and going through the midpoint of the two stakes".
Therefore we will choose the last option is correct. (Answer)
