Question

Is the term (X + 2) a factor of the polynomial shown below?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: No, the remainder is -114

Further explanation:

In order to check whether the given term is a factor of given polynomial or not we will put

x+2=0

x=-2

Given

$f(x)=x^3 - 10x^2 + 27^x - 12\\f(-2)=(-2)^3-10(-2)^2+27(-2)- 12\\=-8-10(4)-54-12\\=-8-40-54-12\\=-114$

As the remainder is -114, the term x+2 is not a factor of given polynomial

The correct answer is: No, the remainder is -114
