Answer 1

Answer:

d)

Step-by-step explanation:

the polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by a linear polynomial x-r is equal to f(r). In particular, x-r is a divisor (that means a factor) of f(x), if and only if f(r)=0.

our r here is -1 to get x + 1.

f(-1) = 2×(-1)³ + 5×(-1)² - -1 - 6 = -2 + 5 + 1 - 6 = -2

the remainder is -2.

and since the remainder is <> 0, the binomial cannot be a factor.
