Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine if (<em>x</em> + 1) is a factor of the polynomial:

x^4 + 2x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x -3

According to the Factor Theorem, if a binomial in the form (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) is a factor of a polynomial P(x), then P(a) must equal zero.

Our binomial factor is (<em>x</em> + 1) or (<em>x</em> - (-1)). Hence, <em>a</em> = -1.

Let our polynomial be P(x). Find P(-1):

\displaystyle\begin{aligned}  P(-1) &= (-1)^4 + 2(-1)^3 +2(-1)^2 -2(-1) -3 \\&=0\end{aligned}

Therefore, since the resulting value is indeed zero, (<em>x</em> + 1) is indeed a factor of the given polynomial.

In conclusion: yes.

Find the first 3 terms of arithmetic sequence if t5=-154 and t9=-274. find t1, t2, t3
777dan777 [17]

Answer: t1 = -34; t2 = -64; t3 = -94

d is the distance between numbers (d > 0)

we have:

t5 = t1 + 4d = -154

t9 = t1 + 8d = -274

we have the equations:

t1 + 4d = -154

t1 + 8d = -274

<=> t1 = -34

      d = -30

with t1 = -34 and = -30 => t2 = -34 - 30 = -64

                                          t3 = -64 - 30 = -94
