We are given polynomial: 5x^3+8x^2-7x-6.

We need to explain why the binomial (x + 2) IS a factor of this polynomial expression and  why the binomial (x + 1) IS NOT a factor of this polynomial expression.

Let us set first factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

x+2=0

x=-2.

Plugging x=-2 in given polynomial, we get

5(-2)^3+8(-2)^2-7(-2)-6 = 5(-8) +8(4)+14-6

= -40 +32+14-6

=0

<em>Because x=-2 gives 0 on plugging in given polynomial, so it's factor of given polynomial expression.</em>

Now, let us check second factor x+1=0

x=-1.

Plugging x=-1 in given polynomial, we get

5(-1)^3+8(-1)^2-7(-1)-6 = 5(-1) +8(1)+7-6

=-5+8+7-6.

= -4.

<em>Because x=-1 doesn't gives 0 on plugging in given polynomial, so it's not a factor of given polynomial expression.</em>

Y=5x+2 what point at the y axis
almond37 [142]
I think to find the y - axis you should sub x=0
Therefore, y=5(0)+2
=2
Hence the answer is (0,2)

I'm sorry if this is wrong!
