Determine each of the following polynomials has `(x+1)` a factor : i) `x^3 + x^2 + x + 1` ii)`x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1` iii) `x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2 + x + 1` iv) `x^3 - x^2 - (2 + sqrt2)x + sqrt2` Sol. : i) Let `p(x) = x^3 + x^2 + x + 1` and zero of `x + 1` is `- 1` `p(-1) = (-1)^3 + (-1)^2 + (-1) + 1` `p(-1) = - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1` `p(-1) = 0` Answer : `(x+1)` is a factor. ii) Let `p(x) = x^4 + x^3 + x^2+ x + 1` and zero of `x+1` is `- 1` `p(-1) = (-1)^4 + (-1)^3 + (-1)^2 + (-1) + 1` `p(-1) = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1` `p(-1) = 1 ≠ 0 ` Answer : `(x+1)` is not a factor. iii) Let `p(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2+ x + 1` and zero of `x+1` is `- 1` `p(-1) = (-1)^4 + 3(-1)^3 + 3(-1)^2+ (-1) + 1` `p(-1) = 1 - 3 + 3 - 1 + 1` `p(-1) = 1 ≠ 0` Answer : `(x+1)` is not a factor. iv) Let `p(x) = x^3 - x^2
