Answer: No, x+3 is not a factor of 2x^2-2x-12
========================================================
Explanation:
Let p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
If we divide p(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). I'm using the remainder theorem. A special case of the remainder theorem is that if p(k) = 0, then x-k is a factor of p(x).
Compare x+3 = x-(-3) to x-k to find that k = -3.
Plug x = -3 into the function
p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
p(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 2(-3) - 12
p(-3) = 12
We don't get 0 as a result so x+3 is not a factor of p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
----------------------------------------
Let's see what happens when we factor p(x)
2x^2 - 2x - 12
2(x^2 - x - 6)
2(x - 3)(x + 2)
The factors here are 2, x-3 and x+2
Substitute the given into the function
f(-4) = |7(-4) - 3|
now solve
f(-4) = |-28 - 3|
f(-4) = | -31|
the absolute value of |-31| is 31
so,
f(-4) = 31
Hope this helps :)
Hope this helps but I this helps but I think the answer is D if not then try B
