Sample questions
-
1.Without actual division, what is the remainder when the polynomial $p(x) = 8x^2 - 2x - 15$ is divided by $(2x + 3)$?
- A.-6
- B.0
- C.6
- D.12
-
2.The polynomial $px^3 + 4x^2 - 3x + q$ is completely divisible by $x^2 - 1$. What are the values of $p$ and $q$?
- A.$p = 3$, $q = -3$
- B.$p = 3$, $q = -4$
- C.$p = -3$, $q = 4$
- D.$p = 4$, $q = -3$
-
3.Use the factor theorem to determine which of the following statements correctly shows that $(x + 2)$ and $(2x - 3)$ are factors of the polynomial $(2x^2 + x - 6)$?
- A.$p(-2) = 0$ and $p\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = 0$, confirming both are factors.
- B.$p(2) = 0$ and $p\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) = 0$, confirming both are factors.
- C.$p(-2) = 0$ only, so only $(x + 2)$ is a factor.
- D.$p\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = 2$ and $p(-2) = -4$, so neither is a factor.
-
4.Given that $(x + 2)$ and $(x + 3)$ are factors of the polynomial $x^3 + ax + b$, use the factor theorem to determine the completely factorized form of the polynomial.
- A.$(x + 2)(x + 3)(x - 5)$
- B.$(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 5)$
- C.$(x - 2)(x - 3)(x + 5)$
- D.$(x + 2)(x - 3)(x - 5)$
-
5.For what value of $a$ is the polynomial $(2x^3 + ax^2 + 11x + a + 3)$ exactly divisible by $(2x - 1)$?
- A.$a = 7$
- B.$a = -7$
- C.$a = 14$
- D.$a = -14$
