To identify which of the given factors is a factor of the polynomial
, we can use the Factor Theorem. The Factor Theorem states that if
is a root of the polynomial \(P(x)\), then \((x - a)\) is a factor of \(P(x)\).Let's test each given factor by substituting the corresponding root into the polynomial and checking if it equals zero.1. For
, the root is
:
So,
is not a factor.2. For
, the root is
:
So,
is not a factor.3. For
, the root is
:
So,
is a factor.4. For
, the root is
:
So,
is not a factor.5. For
, the root is
:
So,
is a factor.Therefore, the factors of the polynomial
are
and
.
