By the Factor Theorem, what can be said about the polynomial function m(x) if m(3)=0 ?

Question

Possible answers:

a) x−3is a factor of m(x)

b) x+3is a factor of m(x)

c) m(x)has 3 real zeros

d) m(x)has no real zeros

Answer 1

Factor Theorem states that any non-zero polynomial, M(x) for this instance, has a real number [N] as a zero for its function for the exclusive circumstance that [x - N] is a factor of M(x).

If M(3) = 0, this qualifies that x = 3 is a critical value or zero for the M(x) function and that x - 3 is an M(x) factor.

Correct Answer is A.
