2. FACTOR THEOREM ¸¡Ã½¢ò§¾üÈõ
P(x) be a polynomial with degree ‘n’ (n>1) and ‘a’
bea real number .
(i) If P(a) = 0 then (x-a) is a factor of p(x).
(ii) If (x-a) is a factor ofp(x) then p(a) = 0 ¬Ìõ

x3 x2
1 +13 x+32 +20
1 +32
33 33
13 +20
+ = +66
Sum of the Co-efficients are not 0 so (x-1) is not a
factor.
Sum of even and oddpowers are equalso (x+1) is a
factor
5. Factorize. x3 +13x2 +32x + 20
(x+1) is a factor
