Which of the following is a linear factor of x5 + 4x3 - 17x + 12? a 2x + 3 b 2x - 1 c x – 1 d x + 1

x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply the rational root theorem to find the a root:

Now, the divisors:

Now we verify each divisor:

Now we know one root:

Giving the final answer that one linear factor is x-1

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
