Question 1

What does the Factor Theorem state?

  • If P(a) = 0
  • then (x + a) is a factor.
  • If P(a) = 0
  • then (x - a) is a factor.
  • If P(a) ≠ 0
  • then (x - a) is a factor.

💡 Hint: Remember the condition of the polynomial when equal to zero.

Question 2

True or False: If x = 3 is a root of P(x), then (x - 3) cannot be a factor.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the definition from the Factor Theorem.
