Question 3 of 10 * - 3 is a factor of P(x) =*? – 73? + 158-9 O A. True O B. False

Given,
The expression is,
[tex]P(x)=x^3-7x^2+15x-9[/tex]If x- 3 is the factor of the given polynomial function, then on substituting the value of x = 3 in the polynomial function, it become zero.
Thus subsituting the value of x in the polynomial,
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(3)=3^3-7\times3^2+15\times3-9 \\ =27-7\times9+45-9 \\ =27+45-63-9 \\ =72-72 \\ =0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Here, the obtained value of polynomial is 0.
Hence, x-3 is a factor of the given polynomial.
Thus, option A(true) is correct.
