The Factor Theorem

The Factor Theorem is a result of the Remainder Theorem, and is based on the same reasoning. If you haven't read the lesson on the Remainder Theorem, review that topic first, and then return here.

As the Remainder Theorem points out, if you divide a polynomial p(x) by a factor x – a of that polynomial, then you will get a zero remainder. Let's look again at that Division Algorithm expression of the polynomial:

p(x) = (x – a)q(x) + r(x)

If x – a is indeed a factor of p(x), then the remainder after division by x – a will be zero. That is:

p(x) = (x – a)q(x)

In terms of the Remainder Theorem, this means that, if x – a is a factor of p(x), then the remainder, when we do synthetic division by  

x = a, will be zero.

The point of the Factor Theorem is the reverse of the Remainder Theorem: If you synthetic-divide a polynomial by x = a and get a zero remainder, then, not only is x = a a zero of the polynomial (courtesy of the Remainder Theorem), but x – a is also a factor of the polynomial (courtesy of the Factor Theorem).

Just as with the Remainder Theorem, the point here is not to do the long division of a given polynomial by a given factor. This Theorem isn't repeating what you already know, but is instead trying to make your life simpler. When faced with a Factor Theorem exercise, you will apply synthetic division and then check for a zero remainder.

Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether x – 1 is a factor of

    f (x) = 2x4 + 3x2 – 5x + 7.

For x – 1 to be a factor of  f (x) = 2x4 + 3x2 – 5x + 7, the Factor Theorem says that x = 1 must be a zero of  f (x). To test whether x – 1 is a factor, I will first set x – 1 equal to zero and solve to find the proposed zero, x = 1. Then I will use synthetic division to divide f (x) by x = 1. Since there is no cubed term, I will be careful to remember to insert a "0" into the first line of the synthetic division to represent the omitted power of x in 2x4 + 3x2 – 5x + 7:

g Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that thefollowing random variables can take on:(a) the maximu
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

(a) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(d) D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume each roll can result in the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

(a) If both rolls result in a 1, the maximum value is 1. If either roll results in a 6, the maximum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) If either roll results in a 1, the minimum value is 1. If both rolls result in a 6, the minimum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) If both rolls result in a 1, the sum is 2. If both rolls results in a 6, the sum is 12; all integers between 2 and 12 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(d) If the first roll results in a 1 and the second results in a 6, the result is -5. On the other hand, if the first roll results in a 6 and the second results in a 1, the result is 5; all integers between -5 and 5 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
