Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial function?

Answer:

YES

NO

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is: $ f(x) =  x^3 + 4x^2 - 25x - 100 $

(x - a) is a factor of a polynomial iff x = a is a solution to the polynomial.

To check if (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial f(x), we substitute x = 5 and check if it satisfies the equation.

∴ f(5) = 5³ + 4(5)² - 25(5) - 100

        = 125 + 100 - 125 - 100

        = 225 - 225

        = 0

We see, x = 5 satisfies f(x). So, (x - 5) is a factor to the polynomial.

Now, to check (x + 2) is a factor.

i.e., to check x = - 2 satisfies f(x) or not.

f(-2) = (-2)³ + 4(-2)² - 25(-2) - 100

      = -8 + 16 + 50 - 100

     = -108 + 66

     ≠ 0

Therefore, (x  + 2) is not a factor of f(x).

To check (x - 4) is a factor.

∴ f(4) = 4³ + 4(4)² - 25(4) - 100

        = 64 + 64 - 100 - 100

        = 128 - 200

        ≠ 0

Therefore, (x - 4) is not a factor of f(x).

The measurement of the angles of RSC are given by the expression in the table
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

31 + x + 4 + 3x + 9 = 180, that is

4x + 44 = 180 ( subtract 44 from both sides )

4x = 136 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 34

Thus

∠ S = x + 4 = 34 + 4 = 38°

∠ T = 3x + 9 = 3(34) + 9 = 102 + 9 = 111°
