Answer» ********************************** FACTOR Theorem : LET p(x) be a polynomial if degree one or more than one and a is a real number .Then , i ) x - a , will be a factor of p(x) if p(a) = 0 conversely ii ) If x - a is a factor of p(x), Then p(a) = 0 ************************************* Here , F(x) = 5x³ + x² - 5x - 1 , g(x) = x + 1 , g(x) = 0 , => x + 1 = 0 => x = -1 Therefore , ZERO of g(x) is -1 , Now , F(-1) = 5(-1)³ + (-1)² - 5(-1) - 1 = -5 + 1 + 5 - 1 =-6 + 6 = 0 Therefore , By Factor theorem , g(x) is a factor of F(x). ••••• |
