Use the factor theorem to determine if (x-4) . is a factor of x^5 - 3x^4 - x - 3

(x - 4) is not a factor because .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the factor theorem, if f(x) = 0, only then f(x) can have a factor (x-a) which in this case is equal to (x - 4).

Considering this factor theorem, we can write it as:

Now to check if (x - 4) is its factor or not, substitute a value of 4 in place of x in f(x):

So f(x) is not equal to zero which means (x - 4) is not a factor of
