Proof of this factor theorem Let p ( x ) be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and a be areal number such that p ( a ) = 0. Then, we have to show that ( x – a ) is a factor of p ( x ). Let q ( x ) be the quotient when p ( x ) is divided by ( x – a ). By remainder theorem, Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder p ( x ) = ( x – a ) x q ( x ) + p ( a ) [Remainder theorem] ⇒ p ( x ) = ( x – a ) x q ( x ) [ p ( a ) = 0] ⇒ ( x – a ) is a factor of p ( x ) Conversely, let ( x – a ) be a factor of p ( x ). Then we have to prove that p ( a ) = 0 Now, ( x – a ) is a factor...
