Factor Theorem with Proof and Examples
Home Previous Question Next Question Factor Theorem : If (p(x)) is a polynomial of degree (n geq 1) and (a) is any real number, then (x-a) is a factor of (p(x)), if and only if (p(a)=0). Proof: By the Remainder Theorem, (p(x)=(x-a) q(x)+p(a)).(i) If (p(a)=0), then (p(x)=(x-a) q(x)), which shows that (x-a) is a factor […]
