Factor Solution

• Yes, x-3 is a factor of p(x) since the remainder is 0.

• No, x-3 is not a factor of p(x) since the remainder is 0.

Finish dividing p(x)=5x^3+34x^2+26x+C by x+6. Determine what value C must equal if x+6 is a factor of p(x).

• C would need to be equal to 0.

• C would need to be equal to 12.

• C would need to be equal to -12.

• C would need to be equal to 300.

Match the following appropriately.
