where b is a constant

< (ax + b) ,

Factor Theorem

If f(x) is
polynomial then :
·
a


>
If F(p) = 0 , then (xp) is a
factor of F(x)
>
If (x-p) is a factor of f(x), then
F(p) 0
=




>
If f(E) =
0 , then (ax-b) is a factor of fix)
>
If (ax- b) is a
factor of f(x) then (a) = 0


Example
① Show X-2 is a
factor Xx + x2-4x-4
of
f(z) = 23 + 23 -

4(2) 4 -




= O : CX-2) is a
factor

remainder theorem

f(x) divided by Cax-b) then
If a
polynomial is the remainder

Example
① Find the remainder when -20x + 3 is divided by X-4


f(z) = f(Y) =
f(y)
f(y) = 43 20(4) -

f(4) = -

Mathematical Proof
·
A
proof is a logical and structured argument to show that a

mathematical statement or
conjecture is always true
Theorem is mathematical fact statement
proven

a or


·
Conjecture is a mathematical theory yet to be
prover

Mathematical
proof usually starts with previously established

through a series of
The final step in a
proof
is a statement

Procedure for deduction
1) Identify known facts / theorems
11)Conduct
logical step-wise calculations

111) State the statement

Example
D Prove that of two odd odd
the
product numbers is

=
(2x 1)(2y + 1)

=
(xy + 2x + 2y) + 1 factor out z


=
z(zxy + x +
