Step-by-step explanation:
The Remainder theorem states that if f(x) is divided by (x - h) then
f(h) is the remainder, thus
division by (x - 1) then h = 1
f(1) = 4(1)³ - 7(1)² - 2(1) + 6
= 4 - 7 - 2 + 6 = 1 ← remainder
The factor theorem states that if (x - h) is a factor of f(x), then f(h) = 0
Here f(1) = 1
Hence (x - 1) is not a factor of f(x)
