Use the factor theorem to determine whether gx is factor of fx in each of the following cases fx 5 x cube + x square -5 x -1 gx is equals to X + 1

Answer»

Given :

To Find :

  • Whether X +1 is a FACTOR of given polynomial or not .

Solution :

\longmapsto\tt{x+1=0}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{x=-1}

Putting x = -1 :

\longmapsto\tt{{5x}^{3}+{x}^{2}-5x-1}

\longmapsto\tt{5{(-1)}^{3}+{(-1)}^{2}-5(-1)-1}

\longmapsto\tt{5(-1)+1+5-1}

\longmapsto\tt{-5+1+5-1}

\longmapsto\tt{-4+4}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{0}

So , x + 1 is the factor of 5x³ + x² - 5x - 1 ...
