" not a factor of the polynomial" not a factor of the polynomial

Explanation:

Using some color(blue)"algebraic manipulation"algebraic manipulation by substituting the divisor into the numerator as a factor.

(color(red)(2v^2)(2v-3)+(color(blue)(6v^2)+6v^2)-8v-12)/(2v-3)2v2(2v3)+(6v2+6v2)8v122v3

=(color(red)(2v^2)(2v-3)color(red)(+6v)(2v-3)+(color(blue)(+18v)-8v)-12)/(2v-3)=2v2(2v3)+6v(2v3)+(+18v8v)122v3

=(color(red)(2v^2)(2v-3)color(red)(+6v)(2v-3)color(red)(+5)(2v-3)+(color(blue)(+15)-12))/(2v-3)=2v2(2v3)+6v(2v3)+5(2v3)+(+1512)2v3

rArr4v^3+6v^2-8v-12=2v^2+6v+5+3/(2v-3)4v3+6v28v12=2v2+6v+5+32v3

Since the remainder of the division is not zero.

"Then "2v-3" is not a factor of the polynomial"Then 2v3 is not a factor of the polynomial
