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

Answer with explanation:
→Number of Integers from 1 to 100
=100(50 Odd +50 Even)
→50 Even =2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,...............................100
→50 Odd=1,3,,5,7,9,..................................99.
→Sum of Two even integers is even.
→Sum of two odd Integers is odd.
→Sum of an Odd and even Integer is Odd.
(a)
Number of ways of Selecting 2 integers from 50 Integers ,so that their sum is even,
=Selecting 2 Even integers from 50 Even Integers , and Selecting 2 Odd integers from 50 Odd integers ,as Order of arrangement is not Important, ,
=4900 ways
(b)
Number of ways of Selecting 2 integers from 100 Integers ,so that their sum is Odd,
=Selecting 1 even integer from 50 Integers, and 1 Odd integer from 50 Odd integers, as Order of arrangement is not Important,
=2500 ways
