Answer:

<em>(x-2)</em><em> is a factor of the function.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

f(x) = 5x^3+24x^2-75x+14

As when we equate any factor of a polynomial to zero, the value of x we get is the zero of the polynomial.

So equating all the options to 0, we get

  1. x+\dfrac{1}{2}=0\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{1}{2}
  2. x-\dfrac{1}{2}=0\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1}{2}
  3. x+2=0\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow x=-2
  4. x-2=0\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow x=2

If x is a zero of a polynomial, then after putting the value of x in the polynomial, it becomes 0.

So,

  1. f(-\dfrac{1}{2}) = 5(-\dfrac{1}{2}) ^3+24(-\dfrac{1}{2}) ^2-75(-\dfrac{1}{2}) +14=\dfrac{455}{8}\neq 0
  2. f(\dfrac{1}{2}) = 5(\dfrac{1}{2}) ^3+24(\dfrac{1}{2}) ^2-75(\dfrac{1}{2}) +14=-\dfrac{135}{8}\neq 0
  3. f(-2) = 5(-2)^3+24(-2)^2-75(-2)+14=220\neq 0
  4. f(2) = 5(2)^3+24(2)^2-75(2)+14=0

So, (x-2) is a factor of the function.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x 4 = 8

Absolute value means no symbols so it would just be 2 x something equals 8 which is 4.
