The Factor Theorem
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The Factor Theorem states that k is a zero of a polynomial exactly when x − k is a factor.
Show
f(x) = x³ − 3x + 2 has f(1) = 0, so x − 1 is a factor — zero remainder and clean factor, one fact.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
