Is X 8 is a factor of f/x Which of the following must be true?

Answer :

If (x + 8) is a factor of f(x), then the true statement is f(-8) = 0 .

In the question ,

it is given that , x [tex]+[/tex] 8 is factor of f(x) ,

we have to select the correct option about f(x) from the given options .

When solving the polynomials, a factor of the polynomial gives the solution of  the polynomial.

that means , x + 8 = 0

So , x = -8 ,

So , it means that when x = -8 , then the value of the function f(-8) will be zero ,

which means that x = -8 will be a root of the given function f(x) .

Therefore , the true statement is f(-8) = 0 .

The given question is incomplete , the complete question is

If (x + 8) is a factor of f(x), which of the following must be true ?

(a) Both x = –8 and x = 8 are roots of f(x).

(b) Neither x = –8 nor x = 8 is a root of f(x).

(c) f(–8) = 0

(d) f(8) = 0
