Question 2 Determine if (x-3) is a factor to the polynomial P(x) = 2x³ +5x²-28x - 15. (3 marks)​

Sagot :

Answer:

(x - 3) is a factor of P(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x - 3) is a factor of P(x) then P(3) = 0

P(3) = 2(3)³ + 5(3)² - 28(3) - 15

      = 2(27) + 5(9) - 84 - 15

      = 54 + 45 - 99

      = 99 - 99

      = 0

since P(3) = 0 then (x - 3) is a factor of P(x)
