f 1 2 2 Factor Theorem A polynomial function only if f(x) has a linear factor x a if and f(a) 0. The Factor Theorem states If a is a solution of f(x) 0, then x a is a factor of f(x). and If x a is a factor of f(x), then a is a solution of f(x) 0. You can see why the Factor Theorem is true by noting that the remainder ...
