Cassidy Mcgrath · Answer 2

I think it is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps:

Arrange the polynomial in descending order.

Write down all the factors of the constant term. These are all the possible values of p.

Write down all the factors of the leading coefficient ...

Write down all the possible values of ...

Use synthetic division to determine the values of for which P () = 0.
