Question:
Using factor theorem, show that g(x) is a factor of p(x), when
$p(x)=69+11 x-x^{2}+x^{3}, g(x)=x+3$
Solution:
$p(x)=69+11 x-x^{2}+x^{3}$
$g(x)=x+3$
Putting $x=-3$ in $p(x)$, we get
$p(-3)=69+11 \times(-3)-(-3)^{2}+(-3)^{3}=69-33-9-27=0$
Therefore, by factor theorem, (x + 3) is a factor of p(x).
Hence, g(x) is a factor of p(x).
