Use the remainder theorem to show that (x+1) is a factor of f(x)=2x^3-7x^2-5x+4

Nitella [24]2 years ago

well, the remainder theorem says that if the polynomial f(x) has a factor of (x-a), then if we just plug in the "a" in f(x) it'll gives a remainder, assuming (x-a) is indeed a factor, then that remainder must be 0, so if f(a) = 0 then indeed (x-a) is a factor of f(x).  After all that mumble jumble, let's proceed, we have (x+1), that means [ x - (-1) ], so if we plug in -1 in f(x), we should get 0, or f(-1) = 0, let's see if that's true.

\begin{array}{llrll} f(-1)&=&2(-1)^3-7(-1)^2-5(-1)+4\\\\ &&2(-1)-7(1)-5(-1)+4\\\\ &&-2-7+5+4\\\\ &&-9+9\\ &&0&~~\checkmark \end{array}

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a² - b² = (a+ b)(a - b)

1) (2n-4/2n) ÷ (n^2-4/n)

=\frac{2n-4}{2n}*\frac{n}{n^{2}-4}\\\\=\frac{2n-2*2}{2n}*\frac{n}{n^{2}-2^{2}}\\\\=\frac{2*(n-2)}{2n}*\frac{n}{(n+2)*(n-2)}\\\\=\frac{1}{n+2}

2) [y^2-36/y^2-49] ÷[ y+6/y-7]

=\frac{y^{2}-36}{y^{2}-49}*\frac{y-7}{y+6}\\\\=\frac{y^{2}-6^{2}}{y^{2}-7^{2}}*\frac{y-7}{y+6}\\\\=\frac{(y+6)*(y-6)}{(y+7)*(y-7)}*\frac{y-7}{y+6}\\\\=\frac{y-6}{y+7}\\

3) [m^2-1/ m^2-m] ÷ [m^2-7m-8/3m ]

=\frac{m^{2}-1}{m^{2}-m}*\frac{3m}{m^{2}-7m-8}\\\\=\frac{(m+1)*(m-1)}{m*(m-1)}*\frac{3m}{(m-8)*(m+1)}\\\\=\frac{3}{m-8}

Hint :  m² - 7m - 8

sum = -7

Product  = -8

Factor = (-8), 1

m² - 7m - 8  =m² - 8m + m - 8

                   = m*(m - 8) + (m-8)

                   = (m - 8)(m +1)

where m would be the slope and b is the y intercept

equations would be:
