If $p(3) = 0$ for a polynomial $p(x)$,state one factor of $p(x)$.
(A) According to the Factor Theorem,if $p(a) = 0$ for a polynomial $p(x)$,then $(x - a)$ is a factor of $p(x)$.
Given that $p(3) = 0$,we substitute $a = 3$ into the theorem.
Therefore,$(x - 3)$ is a factor of $p(x)$.
Given that $p(3) = 0$,we substitute $a = 3$ into the theorem.
Therefore,$(x - 3)$ is a factor of $p(x)$.
