Question 462190: What would be an example of a trinomial being a factor of a polynomial when the polynomial has been divided by the trinomial. I'm having a difficult time coming up with an example with a remainder of 0.
Thank you. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Just do something like (x^2 + 3x + 6)(x^3 - 1) and multiply out. Here, the trinomial x^2 + 3x + 6 is a factor of the entire polynomial.
