I solved it on a piece of paper. I can not answer why I got the same answer, but I hope my method helped
Answer:
B. No, the remainder is -50.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Roots are when the polynomial are equal to 0
<u>Algebra II</u>
- Synthetic Division
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Function f(x) = x³ - 10x² + 27x - 12
Divisor/Root (x + 1)
<u>Step 2: Synthetic Division</u>
<em>See Attachment.</em>
To determine whether a given root is an actual root, the remainder must equal 0. Since we have a remainder of -50, the given root is not a factor of the polynomial.
