Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value is a root of the polynomial, then the remainder will be 0. This means that the root as a factor will multiply to make the polynomial.

Answer:

The given statement is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement: A remainder of 1 or more in the process of doing synthetic division tells you that you have found a root of the polynomial function and a factor of the polynomial.

In the synthetic division, if a polynomial p(x) completely divided by a number c (remainder is 0), then (x-c) is a factor of f(x) and c is a root of the polynomial p(x).

It means only remainder of 0 in the process of doing synthetic division tells you that you have found a root of the polynomial function and a factor of the polynomial.

Therefore the given statement is False.
