What is the first two success criteria listed for this

lesson that can be found at the top of the page?

• determine if a number is a factor by synthetic substitution

• divide a polynomial by a monomial

• use rules of exponent to simplify

• factor polynomials

Multiple Choice

When using synthetic substitution for the number to be a factor then f(x) must equal what number?

• 1

• -1

• 0

• any number

Multiple Choice

In example #1 when the problem asked for g(3) it means to substitute 3 for the x value.

• true

• false

• sometimes

• never

Multiple Choice

In question #2, how did I know that -3 was not a factor?

• Because

  f(x) $$\ne$$ 0

• Because f(x) = 0

Multiple Choice
