Question

Select all of the true statements about this function. p(x) = 2x^3 - 14x - 12 p(-1) = 0 p(3) = 0 x + 1 is a factor of p(x). x - 3 is a factor of p(x).

SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

Calculate p(-1):

p(-1) = 2(-1)^3 - 14(-1) - 12 = -2 + 14 - 12 = 0. True
Calculate p(3):

p(3) = 2(3)^3 - 14(3) - 12 = 54 - 42 - 12 = 0. True
If p(-1) = 0, then x + 1 is a factor of p(x). True
If p(3) = 0, then x - 3 is a factor of p(x). True
