Q. f(x)=2x3−2x2+18x−18The function f is shown. If x−1 is a factor of f, what is the value of f(1) ?Choose 1 answer:(A) −40(B) −18(C) 0(D) 1
Given information: We are given that x−1 is a factor of f(x). According to the Factor Theorem, if x−1 is a factor of f(x), then f(1) should be equal to 0.
Calculating f(1): Let's calculate f(1) by substituting x=1 into the function f(x)=2x3−2x2+18x−18.f(1)=2(1)3−2(1)2+18(1)−18
