Is "f(x)=0 when x=−1" true or not? To answer this, use synth. div. with -1 as the divisor. Is the remainder 0? If yes, then -1 is a root and f(-1) = 0.
Setting up synth. div.:
   ______________
-1Â /Â Â 1Â Â -1Â Â -4Â Â 4
       -1  2  2
   ------------------------
     1  -2  -2  6   The remainder is 6, so -1 is not a root, and f(x) does
                  not equal 0 when x = -1.
"f(x) divided by (x−1) has a remainder of 0." Again, set up synth. div., this time with divisor +1:
1Â Â /Â Â 1Â Â -1Â Â -4Â Â 4
        1  0  -4
   ------------------------
     1  0  -4  0   The remainder is 0, so 1 is a root and x-1 is aÂ
                  factor.

Answer:
f(x)  divided by (x−1)  has a remainder of 0.
(x−1)  is a factor of  f(x) .
