p(x)=2x^3 + 7x^2 + 2x - 3. (a) Use the factor theorem to prove that x + 3 is a factor of p(x). (b) Simplify the expression (2x^3 + 7x^2 + 2x - 3)/(4x^2-1), x!= +- 0.5

(a) The factor theorem states that: the polynomial f(x) has a factor (x - a) if and only if f(a) = 0.Use that information, we know that (x + 3) is a factor of p(x) if p(-3) = 0. So let's test it:p(-3) = 2...
