Question 41012: please help
use the remainder theorem and the factor theorem to determine whether (y-3) is a factor of %28y%5E4%2B2y%5E2-4%29.
a)the reminder is 0 and, therefore (y-3)is a factor of %28y%5E4%2B2y%5E2-4%29
b)the remainder is 0 and, therefore, (y-3) isn't a factor of %28y%5E4%2B2y%5E2-4%29c)the remainder isn't 0 and, therefore, (y-3) is a factor of %28y%5E4%2B2y%5E2-4%29
d)the remainder isn't 0 and, therefore, (y-3) isn't a factor of %28y%5E4%2B2y%5E2-4%29

The remainder is not zero so y-3 is not a factor of y^4+2y^2-4
