Question

Determine whether each binomial is a factor of x^3+3x^2-10x-24

Answer 1

A binomial is a polynomial equation with two terms, each of which is a monomial usually joined by a plus or minus sign. Polynomials with one term is called monomial and could look like this, 9x while a binomial could look like this 2x + 8.

Yes! It true that each binomial is a factor of x^3+3x^2-10x-24. Here’s why,

Quotient: x^2 + 6x + 8
Factor:(x+4)(x+2)

Factor Form: (x-3)(x+4)(x+2)
