The true statements about the synthetic division are
- c. (2x²-2x-12) + (x-3) = (2x + 4)
- d. The number 3 is a root of F(x) = 2x^2 - 2x-12.
- e. (x-3) is a factor of 2x² - 2x-12.
How to determine the true statements?
The synthetic division is given as:
3)2 -2 -12
6 12
2 4 0
In the above representation of the synthetic division, we have:
- Quotient = 2x + 4
- Dividend = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
- Divisor = x- 3
- Remainder = 0
Because the remainder is 0, then
(2x^2 - 2x - 12) ÷ (x - 3) = (2x + 4) --- option C
Set the divisor to 0
x - 3 = 0
Solve for x
x = 3
This means that 3 is a root of 2x^2 - 2x - 12 --- option (D) and x - 3 is a factor of 2x^2 - 2x - 12 --- option (E)
Hence, the true statements are (C), (D) and (E)
