Question 886912: Show that x-1 either is or is not a factor of P(x) = 2x^4 +3x^3 - 12x^2 -7x +6.
Could you please show me all the work that is necessary to complete this problem so that I understand it completely and will know how it was done so I can do further problems similar to this. Thank you very much. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Show that x-1 either is or is not a factor of P(x) = 2x^4 +3x^3 - 12x^2 -7x +6
-----------
IFF x-1 is a factor, then P(1) = 0
-----
IFF = if and only if
