Determine which of the following polynomial has (X+1) factor x^4+2x^3+2x^2+X+1 |
|
Answer» Answer: Step-by-step EXPLANATION: When x+1 is a factor, p(-1) = 0 p(x) = x⁴ + 2x³ + 2x² +x +1 p(-1) = (-1)⁴ + 2(-1)³ + 2(-1)² +(-1) + 1 = 1 + 2(-1) + 2(1) + (-1) + 1 = 1 -2 +2 -1 +1 =1 ∵ (x+1) is not a factor of p(x) as p(x) ≠0 |
