Question 31
PolynomialsGiven that (2x + 7) is a factor of 2x2 + 3x − 14, find the other factor.
- A.x + 2
- B.2 − x
- C.x − 2
- D.x + 1.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (x − 2)
Explanation
(2x + 7)(x − 2) = 2x2 − 4x + 7x − 14 = 2x2 + 3x − 14.
Given that (2x + 7) is a factor of 2x2 + 3x − 14, find the other factor.
Answer: C (x − 2)
(2x + 7)(x − 2) = 2x2 − 4x + 7x − 14 = 2x2 + 3x − 14.
