Question

Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether $x - 3$ is a factor of $P(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 4x + 3$. Specifically, evaluate $P$ at the proper value, and then determine whether $x - 3$ is a factor. $P(\boxed{}) = \boxed{}$ $\circ$ $x - 3$ is a factor of $P(x)$ $\circ$ $x - 3$ is not a factor of $P(x)$

          Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether $x - 3$ is a factor of $P(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 4x + 3$.
Specifically, evaluate $P$ at the proper value, and then determine whether $x - 3$ is a factor.
$P(\boxed{}) = \boxed{}$
$\circ$ $x - 3$ is a factor of $P(x)$
$\circ$ $x - 3$ is not a factor of $P(x)$
