Answer:

Explanation:
Here, we want to use the factor theorem to check if the given linear expression is a factor of the binomial
Now, according to the factor theorem, a factor of a polynomial would leave no remainder when divided by it
Mathematically, it means when we substitute the factor value into the polynomial, it is expected that the remainder is zero is the substituted is a factor of the polynomial
We set x-2 to zero:

Now, we substitute 2 into the polynomial as follows:

There is a remainder of -28 and thus, the linear factor is not a factor of the binomial
Answer:
28+14.50+524.50+13.25= 580.25

Answer:
the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem. With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years
Step-by-step explanation:
for the mass y( in grams)
y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.
the initial mass is at t=0 , then
y= 23 grams → should be 16 grams
half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years
the correct equation should be
y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0
then after 150 years → t= 150
y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams
then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years
64,500 would be the answer
