Question

PLEASE HELP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Yes Devon should have evaluated f(3).

Step-by-step explanation:

She substituted the wrong value. For x - 3 to be a factor f(3) must equal 0.

f(3) = 3^3 + 3^2 - 10(3) + 8 = 27 + 9 - 30 + 8

= 14,  so x- 3 is not a factor anyway but she did  substitute the wrong value.

Answer 2

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if x-3 is a factor you plug in what makes it 0 which is 3.

Evaluating f at 3:

$3^3+3^2-10(3)+8$

$27+9-30+8$

$36-30+8$

$6+8$

14

So the remainder of dividing f by (x-3) is actually 14.

The conclusion is still the same but the work Devon provided with her conclusion is wrong as she suppose to evaluate f(3) instead of f(-3).
