Answer:

1) 0

2) -16

3) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

i just did this on edge.

Using the Factor Theorem, we have that:

  • If p(-2) = 0, x = -2 is a root of p(x), otherwise it is not.
  • If p(2) = 0, x = 2 is a root of p(x), otherwise it is not.

------------------------

The Factor Theorem states that if [tex]x = k[/tex] is a root of p(x), then [tex]p(k) = 0[/tex].

Applying this, if p(-2) = p(2) = 0, [tex]x = \pm 2[/tex] is a root of p(x), otherwise it is not.
