If two factors of are and , the value of is
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Solution
From the Remainder Theorem, we have and . Simplifying both of those equations gives and . Since and , we set those equal to get: This gives when substituting back into either of the two equations, and , which is answer .
Final answer
E
