MCQ
Write the correct answer in the following:
x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial.
  • A
    x3 + x2 - x + 1
  • B
    x3 + x2 + x + 1
  • C
    x4 + x3 + x2 + 1
  • D
    -x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1

Answer

  1. x3 + x2 + x + 1
    Solution:
    Let assume (x + 1) is a factor of x3 + x2 + x + 1
    So, x = -1 is zero of x3 + x2 + x + 1
    (-1)3 + (-1)2 + (-1) + 1 = 0
    ⇒ -1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 0
    ⇒ 0 = 0
    Hence, our assumption is true.
