Assume that x^3 + hx^2 + kx + 8. Identify the statement as true or false. If h = 2 and k = 4, then x + 2 is a factor. True False False or True: If h = 2 and k = 4, then x + 2 is a factor. Assume that x + hx + kx + 8. Identify the statement as true or false.

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) top roduce a true statement. x4 - 16 is factored completely as (x2 + 4)(x2 - 4).
Fundamental Concepts of Algebra
Factoring Polynomials
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. The polynomial $4 x^{2}+100$ is the sum of two squares and therefore cannot be factored.
A General Factoring Strategy
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. The trinomial $3 x^{2}+2 x+1$ has relatively small coefficients and therefore can be factored.
