B) The polynomial should be factored using the quadratic formula first, as it's a cubic equation.

C) Grouping terms is the most efficient method to factor this polynomial because it has four terms.

D) The polynomial can be factored using the factor theorem because one factor is (x - 1), as f(1) = 0.

f(x) = 0." Which analysis is correct?

A) This is always true, regardless of other factors

B) This is only true for polynomials of odd degree

C) This is only true if (x-2) is not raised to an even power

I. x²-1 II. x² - x - 2 III. (x + 3)(x + 2) IV. (2x + 1)(x - 1)

A. I only, because it only has 2 terms
