Eli uses the factor theorem to determine whether x−2 is a factor of 6x5−22x2+11x−126.

the factor theorem states

(

x

−

a

)

is a factor of  

f

(

x

)

⇔

f

(

a

)

=

0

f

(

x

)

=

4

x

3

−

3

x

2

−

8

x

+

4

we have  

(

x

−

2

)

⇒

a

=

f

(

)

=

f

∴

x

is not a factor of

x

however by the remainder theorem when

f

=

x

−

x

2

−

x

4

is divided by  

(

x

−

)

the remainder is  

8

the factor theorem being a special case of the remainder theorem
