According to the Remainder Theorem, what is the remainder when a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x - a)?

The remainder is f(a).

Fill in the blank: If f(a) = 0, then (x - a) is a ___ of f(x).

Factor

True or False: The Factor Theorem states that if (x - a) is a factor of f(x), then f(a) must be greater than zero.

False. The Factor Theorem states that f(a) = 0 if (x - a) is a factor.

(x - a)

What is the significance of a remainder of zero when dividing a polynomial by (x - a)?

It indicates that (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

If f(x) = x² - 5x + 6, what can be concluded if f(2) = 0?

(x - 2) is a factor of f(x).

What is the general form of a linear equation with one variable?

The general form is ax + b = 0, where 'a' and 'b' are constants and 'a' is not equal to 0.

Fill in the blank: A linear equation with two variables requires ___ equations to uniquely determine the values of both variables.

Two

What determines whether a system of linear equations is consistent or inconsistent?

A system is inconsistent if there are no solutions, and consistent if there is at least one solution, which can be unique or infinite.
