Determine which binomial is not a factor of 4x^4 – 21x^3 – 46x^2 + 219x + 180.
A. x
+ 4
B. x + 3
C. x
- 5
D. 4x + 3​

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x⁴ − 21x³ − 46x² + 219x + 180

Plug in the zero of each binomial.  If it's also a zero of f(x), then that binomial is a factor of f(x).

f(-4) = 936

f(-3) = 0

f(5) = 0

f(-3/4) = 0

The binomial (x + 4) is not the factor of the polynomial. Then the correct option is A.

What is a Binomial factor?

The algebraic factors with exactly two terms are known as binomial components. Although binomials are simple to solve and their roots are identical to those of polynomials, binomial factors are intriguing.

The polynomial is given below.

⇒ 4x⁴ – 21x³ – 46x² + 219x + 180

Let's check all the factors.

If the factor does not satisfy the polynomial, then the binomial is a factor of the polynomial.

For x + 4 = 0, then we have

The value of the polynomial at x = -4, will be

⇒ 4(-4)⁴ – 21(-4)³ – 46(-4)² + 219(-4) + 180

⇒ 4(256) – 21(-64) – 46(16) + 219(-4) + 180

⇒ 1024 + 1344 – 736 – 876 + 180

⇒ 2548 – 1612

⇒ 936

Thus, the binomial (x + 4) is not the factor of the polynomial.

Then the correct option is A.
