Which of the following best describes the relationship between (x-3) and the polynomial x^3 + 4x^2 + 2?
a. (x-3) is not a factor
b. (x-3) is a factor
c. it is impossible to tell whether (x-3) is a factor

A) (x-3) is not a factor of x^3+4x^2+2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-3) is a factor of f(x)=x^3+4x^2+2 if f(3)=0. This is by factor theorem.

So let's check it.

f(x)=x^3+4x^2+2

f(3)=3^3+4(3)^2+2

f(3)=27+4(9)+2

f(3)=27+36+2

f(3)=63+2

f(3)=65

Since f(3) doesn't equal 0, then x-3 is not a factor.

A. (x-3) is not a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find if (x-3) is a factor of the polynomial by dividing the polynomial by (x-3) by using long division or synthetic division.

Long division:                          

          x^2+x+3

(x-3)/x^3+4x^2+0x+2

      -(x^3-3x^2)

                 x^2+0x

                -(x^2-3x)

                         3x+2

                        -(3x-9)

                               -7  

Here you can see that (x-3) is not a factor of the polynomial because when you divide x^3 + 4x^2 + 2 by (x-3), there is a remainder of -7

Synthetic Division (A shortcut version of long division just to see if there is a remainder and if the supposed factor is really a factor) :

3          1            4           0           2    

           -           3           21          63

           1            7           21          65

As seen before (x-3) is not a factor of the polynomial because there is a remainder.  If 65 were 0, the (x-3) would be a factor of the polynomial.

step-by-step explanation:

this is not possible to solve with the info given.   you need at least an one angle somewhere.

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
