You can put this solution on YOUR website! given polynomial q(x), q(4)=6. which of these statements is correct and why? x=4 is not a root, x=4 is a root, (x-4) is a factor, (x+4) is not a factor.
.
"x=4 is not a root"
If it were a root, then we would expect that
q(4) = 0
since
q(4) = 6
we know it is NOT a root
